Fifteen stories and one novel&;hard-boiled classics by an undisputed master
Following gangsters, blackmailers, and gunmen through the underbelly of 1930s America on their journeys to do dark deeds, Paul Cain&;s stories are classics of his genre. The protagonists of ambiguous morality who populate Cain&;s work are portrayed with a cinematic flair for the grim hardness of their world. Fast One, Cain&;s only novel, was originally serialized in Black Mask in the 1930s. It introduces us to Gerry Kells, a hard-nosed criminal who still holds fast to his humanity in a Los Angeles that&;s crooked to the core.
This collection presents Cain&;s classic crime writing to a contemporary audience.
