Description: "For the first time, here are the complete adventures of the remarkable Professor Ivy (I. V.) Frost and his beautiful assistant, Jean Moray. Introduced in the August 1934 issue of Clues Detective Stories, the tall and sardonic Frost is a scientist, an inventor, and a brilliant detective who takes on only the most outr cases. Over the course of eighteen installments, Donald Wandrei reliably chronicled the Professors bizarre cases, always laden with high adventure and sly wit. Part Sherlock Holmes, part Shadow, Frost stood apart from the gritty, trench-coated pivate eyes of the hard-boiled genre. At once looking back at the genteel ratiocinative detectives of the 19th century and forward to the gimmick-laden adeventures of the James Bond generation, Frost was eccentric, and very, very lethal. A special notice should be made of his too-good-looking assistant, Jean Moray. Young, quick-witted, and fearless, with a pearl-handed .25 slipped into her thigh-holster, she was no helpless damsel in distress."--Back cover.
