245pp. Scarce hardcover, with light blue cloth-covered boards, yellow and white titling, and dust jacket cover art by Pat Feder. JOHN ALFRED "JACK" WEBB (1916-2008) wrote a number of noir murder mysteries set in Los Angeles, California of the 1950's and 60's, this volume being the fifth featuring the dynamic detecting duo of Father Joseph Shanley and LAPD's Sammy Golden of the Homicide Squad. "A wanton blonde's clandestine romance sets police detective Sammy Golden and his crime-busting partner Father Joseph Shanley on the trail of a ruthless mobster who deals in dope and death. This is a fast, taut thriller. Condition: Very Good+ in a like dust jacket. Slight edgewear to corners and tail of spine of book, as well as the age- toning to be expected. Otherwise, tight and clean. Dustjacket is just about immaculate for its age, showing only remnants of small corner folds on two turn-ins, and the merest edge abrasion.
