Tiffany Thayer (1902–1959) was a prolific author and a founding member of the Fortean Society. Many of his novels were scandalous in their day and often critically loathed, but became massive bestsellers and several were made into movies. One novel inspired the 1970s TV series The Name of the Game.
This break-out crime novel, originally published in 1930 under pseudonym "John Doe," was actually written by Tiffany Thayer, who hit the national bestseller lists that same year with his acclaimed novel Thirteen Men, which was quickly followed with one controversial book after another. Now Eyewitness! is finally back in print for the first time in 95 years and hasn't lost its explosive punch.
An unconventional crime story that became a massive bestseller in the 1930s...launching Tiffany Thayer's controversial, and highly successful, writing a career, one that's all but forgotten today, even though he sold millions of books. Now, after nearly 100 years, the blockbuster Thirteen Men is finally back in print...and hasn't lost any of its narrative power over time. It is still, as the San Francisco Examiner declared, “One of the most realistic studies of the American melting pot that has ever been penned.”
The second volume in Tiffany Thayer's massive, epic telling of the story behind the painting of Mona Lisa...a book so large, and a story so vast, that it took sixteen years to write, 1,226 pages to tell, and had to be divided into three volumes to publish. Now it's finally back in print after over 65 years lost in obscurity.
