About This Item
New York: Grosset & Dunlap. Near Fine in Very Good dj. (c.1929). Reprint. Hardcover. [nice clean copy, a touch of wear to lower extremities, spine very slightly turned; jacket shows some wear along top and bottom edges, with various small nicks and tiny chips, front panel a bit scuffed/rubbed]. Hard-boiled detective fiction by one of its earliest (and hardest-boiled) practicioners, featuring his most famous protagonist, private dick Race Williams, who could probably knock Sam Spade's teeth out with one hand tied behind his back. (Nah, on second thought, he'd probably just shoot him -- but with a clear conscience. "I never bumped a guy off who didn't need it," Race once declared.) The second of Daly's eight Race Williams novels, it was originally published serially in Black Mask magazine. .
