Keith: A Matter of Iodine

“. . . as superior to the average mystery story as it is different. It ignores the time-worn formulae completely and as a bit of freshness in a stereotyped field it stands alone. . . . An American cripple goes to Paris to find out why the quality of the iodine his firm imports has deteriorated so much in recent months. A series of strange and baffling incidents occur in Paris as soon as he arrives, and the whole business is wrapped up in some sinister international intrigue. The book has real suspense, excellent writing, and a corking good plot.” (Wisconsin State Journal, 1940)
