About this ebook

Crimson Ice, first published in 1935, is a ‘golden-age’ murder mystery by Cortland Fitzsimmons (1893-1949). Set in the world of ice-hockey, a leading player is knifed during a game between bitter rivals the Boston Cougars and the Canadian Blue Devils. It falls to Dick Bowers to solve the mystery and identify the killer.

Death strides with the speed of the flash of skates on ice in this mystery of murder in the sports world.

From the moment that Gaston Lemaire falls to the ice never to rise again, fate twists a weird trail for Dick Bowers—playing a dangerous game with death, he brings to a surprise climax one of the strangest murder mysteries that ever baffled a detective.

Cortland Fitzsimmons wrote mysteries, often featuring a sports-theme, some of which were made into movies. He also worked as a screenwriter in Hollywood.

Cortland Fitzsimmons

Cortland Fitzsimmons was born in Brooklyn, New York (possibly Queens) on June 19, 1893 and died July 25, 1949 in Los Angeles, California. After attending New York University and The City College of New York, he worked for some time as a salesman for several book distributors and publishers before turning to writing full time in 1934. Most of his works as a writer were mysteries, a number of which were based on sports themes such as 70,000 Witnesses: A Football Mystery, Crimson Ice: A Hockey Mystery, and Death on a Diamond: A Baseball Mystery. A number of his novels were made into films and he moved to Los Angeles to work as a screenwriter. His last book was a cookbook that he co-wrote with his wife Muriel Simpson You Can Cook If You Can Read.
