THE SECOND NOVEL FROM THE TWENTY-YEAR DEATH TRILOGY
THIS SECOND INSTALLMENT IS SET IN 1941 IN THE STYLE OF CLASSIC CRIME WRITER, RAYMOND CHANDLER.
From World War II through the 1960s, paperback crime novels were one of the fastest-selling categories in book publishing. Millions of readers snapped up hundreds of millions of books by well-known authors like Erle Stanley Gardner and Mickey Spillane, as well as by promising young newcomers like Lawrence Block and Donald Westlake. These inexpensive, pocket-sized novels captured the public's imagination with jaw-dropping cover paintings and bare-knuckled prose that grabbed you by the collar with the first sentence and held you until the last page. No one had published books like that in years. Until we came along.
