It’s beautiful work. The artistic style reminds me very much of No Escape from Murder:
https://pulpcovers.com/no-escape-from-murder/
which was done by Rudolph Belarski.
Looking over all of the 5 Detective Novels covers found on this blog:
Meat of the Murder (dead ringer for Belarski)
Claim of the Fleshless Corpse (dead ringer for Belarski)
My Corpse Has Two Faces
A Killer Needs Brains
Murder Money (1950) (dead ringer for Belarski)
they all channel Rudolph Belarski to some degree, but three of them especially so. And I’m absolutely sure the above cover is him. His Pulp Artists dot com page says he painted Detective Novel covers, so I assume that includes 5 Detective Novels.
Clearly, White-hat art is by Rudolph Belarski.
Belarski confirmed.
