DANBY, Frank. [ie Julia Frankau]. - Baccarat.
Philadelphia, Lippincott 1904. Octavo publisher's illustrated green cloth bocked in red, black and white (a pair of playing cards); seven colour plates (one an unlisted tailpiece). ¶ First American edition, the London edition appeared in the same year. Frankau kept her real name for art and biography and presumably earnt her living knocking out novels as Frank Danby - she published about twenty in fourteen years. Though listed by Hubin this is not proper crime fiction but a domestic tragedy. A loving but too vivacious wife left unattended falls victim first to gambling then to the croupier. It grinds on to inevitable death and the suspense comes from whose death it will be.
