Note du spécialiste

Rockwell Kent created the present work for Cora Jarrett's 1933 murder mystery Night Over Fitch's Pond. "Was Julius Nettleton's death by drowning accident or suicide?" begins the dust jacket text. Walter Drake, friend of the deceased, is tasked with answering that question during the long night he spends watching over his body in the camp at Fitch's Pond. Kent praised the book stating: "It has all the excitement of a mystery story, with distinguished literary value."
