The Complete Ivy Frost by Donald Wandrei
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 outré cases. Over the course of eighteen installments, Donald Wandrei reliably chronicled the Professor's bizarre cases, always laden with high adventure and sly wit.

Part Sherlock Holmes, part Shadow, Frost stood apart from the gritty, trench-coated private 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 adventures 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-handled .25 slipped into her thigh-holster, she was no helpless damsel in distress.
