Louis Weinert-Wilton Book Covers

 

After having so far covered three of the four Louis Weinert-Wilton Krimis (and aiming to fill the last remaining gap shortly), I have started getting a bit more curious about him as an author.

None of his books have ever been translated into English but these are the eleven crime novels he wrote:

Die weiße Spinne ("The White Spider", 1929

Teppich des Grauens ("Carpet of Fear", 1929)

Die Panther ("The Panthers", 1930)

Die Königin der Nacht ("The Queen of the Night", 1930)

Der Drudenfuß ("The Druid's Foot", 1931)

Der betende Baum ("The Praying Tree", 1932)

Licht vom Strom ("Light from the Stream", 1933)

Der schwarze Meilenstein ("The Black Milestone", 1935)

Die chinesische Nelke ("The Chinese Carnation", 1936)

Spuk am See ("Haunting at the Lake", 1938)

Der Skorpion ("The Scorpion", 1939)

Most if not all of his books are currently available in Germany but I was curious about seeing some older book covers. Here are a choice that Google has offered me. Note that I have yet to find covers for some of his books, an indication that he is indeed an author who has somewhat fallen into obscurity but I am planning to change that a bit over time.

Also note that by and large these are covers from the iconic series of red Goldmann Krimi paperbacks published from the 1950s on and not from first editions.
