âThornton Ayreâ and âFrank Russellâ. Over the next ten years, Fearnâs Star Weekly detective novels included WITHIN THAT ROOM! (1946), THE CRIMSON RAMBLER (1947; as Thornton Ayre), SHATTERING GLASS (1947), and THE FOURTH DOOR (1948) both as by Frank Russell, and under his own name ROBBERY WITHOUT VIOLENCE (1957) this latter novel having a distinctly science fictional flavour. Up until 1955, Fearnâs Toronto Star Weekly novels were also reprinted in various American newspapers near to the Canadian border, in the New York and Maine areas, including The Bangor News (later as Bangor Sunday Commercial ), Newark Sunday Star Ledger, and Long Island Sunday Press. In recent years, all of Fearnâs Star Weekly mysteries have been reprinted in England and elsewhere, but no American book editions have ever been published. Until now! Borgo Press will be reprinting all of Fearnâs Star Weekly mysteries, along with several of his best detective novels, including some posthumous works. This ambitious programme is being launched here with THE CRIMSON RAMBLER , written in the vein of John Dickson Carr. No discerning collector of locked room and âimpossible crimeâ stories can afford to miss them!
