The Bat/Bab, a Sub-Deb

Volume 6 of The Essential Rinehart Collection presents two very special works of Mary Roberts Rinehart. ?The Bat? is an adaptation of a Broadway play written in conjunction with Avery Hopwood. Considered Mary?s finest work to date, the novel is based in part on her first work, ?The Circular Staircase.? Someone,or something,is trying to frighten Cornelia Van Gorder to death! But the plucky woman doesn't scare easily. In fact, she's always longed to play detective. Until she stumbles on a corpse one storm-swept night, and realizes she's involved in a deadly game with an elusive killer known as The Bat. Also included in this volume is the rare and long out-of-print ?Bab, A Sub-Deb.? The author?s most experimental work presents a first-hand account of a writing assignment (the typos are intentional) that leads to tragedy and murder.
