When I started on 42 DAYS FOR MURDER, it was for forgotten books. But a bit of research showed it had already been covered by Davy Crockett’s Almanack a couple of years back.So it became a simple matter for me to switch to my Reading Forgotten Books mode.Evan does a much better review than I likely could, so please check it out.
Let me just say that Thrilling Detecive said Torrey published over two hundred-eighty short stories and longer pieces in the pulp magazines. As Evan points out, this was his only novel though.
Not The Baseball Pitcher 
Tsk, tsk. As an admirer of your reviews, I must disagree. Good book, though.
I like that cover.
I remember that Lewis review, and thought at the time if I ever came across the book I’d try it. Never did, though.
The book is available online at Munsey’s. http://www.munseys.com/detail/mode/author/Roger_Torrey
