Recently I purchased Magpie Murder by J. Russell Warren, 1942, Published by Sheridan House, Inc; 293 pages. I was pleased to find a copy of this book at an affordable price. Then later I saw a copy of Magpie Murder by Gilbert Coverack. The info I saw at AbeBooks or Alibris read J. Russell Warren (Gilbert Coverack). Since the Coverack book had a dustjacket and was also affordable I ordered the book. There is no copyright year in the Coverack book, it's published by William Earl & Co Ltd. 188 pages. I compared both books. Each book starts the same way and end the same way too. It's like the Coverack book is an abridged version. I personally have not run across something this odd with books before.

Very interesting though!
