New York: Gold Medal, 1950. First Edition of the Author’s First Book. Paperback original. Very good plus to near fine bright copy with a faint trace of use. The front cover is illustrated with a dramatic color painting depicting a lovely blonde woman in a white slip dress kneeling next to a bed with a menacing man lunging toward her. “A hard-boiled ex-cop. A hard-boiled dame. A hard-boiled murder.” (Inventory #: 15493J)
