"Come and Be Killed" by Dorothy Bennett.  Best Detective Novel No. 1 1942. Cover art by Cardwell Higgins. One of the coolest covers of the pre-Atlas Marvel digests.

Thanks to @Hap Hazard for letting this one go. It's a bit of a demon to find in any kind of decent shape.

Excited to get my hands tonight on an extremely scarce relic of early 20s jazz age bohemia. An urban reaction to Capt. Billy's, perhaps, but very different in tone and content, from the heart of Greenwich Village and beyond, Cap'n Joey's Jazza-Ka-Jazza.  Joey Burten was quite the character.  This magazine would morph into Follies and a number of other "artists and models" magazines that pushed the envelope of good taste in the mid to late 20s.

A recent post on Cap'n Joey here:
