Sobre este item
New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1947. First edition. A very good to nearly fine copy in a very good dust jacket with two tiny closed tears to the base of the front panel, mild shelf wear to corner tips and base of spine panel, small chip along upper spine panel and mild age toning to spine panel. (22435). Octavo, cloth. The author's third novel. "The texture of the world in this novel is reminiscent of Dashiell Hammett's fiction, though its sensibility and imagery show the influence of Raymond Chandler as well...The mixture of Hammett's harsh world of political corruption and Chandler's sensual decadence are both apparent here." - Pederson (ed.): The St. James Guide to Crime and Mystery Writers (4th ed.), pp. 667-678. Filmed in 1986 with Judd Nelson, Ally Sheedy and David Caruso. Hubin, p. 573.
