by ODLUM, Jerome
Indianapolis / New York: Bobbs-Merrill, 1938. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. First edition. Modest wear to the boards, very good in an about very good dustwrapper with modest loss at the spine ends, and several internal mends. Basis for the 1939 William Keighley film featuring James Cagney as an unjustly imprisoned reporter, and George Raft as a hard-as-nails mobster he turns to for help. Exceptionally scarce in jacket.
