Hi Glenn, The book is Danish, full title Morderen der aldrig blev fanget - og maaske fanget which translates as The Murderer That Was Never Caught - and Maybe Caught. It was published in 1938 and Ross Strachan says of it - "The Royal Danish Library, which claims to own a copy of every book published in Denmark, has no record of this book's existence - but I have it on very good authority that it does indeed exist." Well, yes it does and here is my copy -

Hello Stewart;

Have had a little delve into this one.
I think it is a "borrowed" translation .
The "projektor" series seems to be a copy or translation of W. Teignmouth Shore's 8 volume series..1931-1938... Crime and its Detection. Gresham publications.
One of these volumes, from 1931, is credited to "W Teignmouth Shore; Auster Allen.
As Shores first name was William..The names on the front of the Danish volume.."William Allen" seem to match.

Richard Jensen was an author and editor at Gyldendal publishing. A company that still exists today in Denmark and Norway.

I could be on the wrong track..but it seems likely to me.
