A very good copy in a good 'Second' printing dj. ('Second' printing noted at head of front dj. flap. Cloth lightly rubbed at edges. Small soil spot at bottom edge. Interior tape mends to dj. Several edge tears, including a 2-inch tear at head of rear panel of dj.) One of the scarcest hardboiled novels of the era. Seldom encountered in any sort of dj.
