This is a pretty interesting cover for Mason Gregory’s paperback mystery If 2 of Them Are Dead, done pamphlet style by Australia’s Phantom Books. One-percenters hit the mountain for downhill thrills, but when one dies on a run there’s a question whether it was an accident or if he was pushed. Well, since the title refers to that famous line by Benjamin Franklin—”Three can keep a secret if two of them are dead”—accident obviously isn’t the explanation. The real shame of the death, in our opinion, is the waste of a lift ticket. Those things are out-of-control expensive. A yard sale, by the way, is when someone falls and leaves their shit scattered all over the mountain—a ski here, a ski there, maybe a hat over yonder. Been there, done it. 1954 copyright on this one (1953 hardcover), with uncredited art.
Oh man! What a yard sale! You alright, brah? Brah?
