An almost perfect piece of pulp fiction. What's particularly great about this novel is that the narrator, Jerry Jamison, has all the trademarks of a typical MacDonald hero: war vet, hard working, straight-shooting, a romantic. And yet he goes bad. The final couple of chapters are some of the most chilling bits of first-person narration I've read. This is a great place to start for anyone interested in MacDonald's hard-boiled novel period.A few more covers for you:
