First Edition. Paul Wenck dustjacket art. Very scarce hard-boiled gangland mystery novel. "The first victim, a bootlegger trying to muscle in, gets a knife in the back and causes Tevis to run afoul of Dick Chester. From that point the murders turn into machine gun slaughters, mowing down all those who know too much, even those who stepped out a door at the wrong time, those who sang to the police. Chester, a born killer with a sharp weather eye for pretty women. He finds it convenient to work in a policeman's uniform and has his own methods for getting assignments that he likes. And there are squads of gunmen, lookouts, bug and little shots; and heaps of political intrigue, graft, corruption, and vice; and that long trail of ghastly murder. The very rottenness of a city under gangland's rising power". Very Good but for area of cloth at upper rear cover worn down, in nearly Very Good dustjacket, staining noticeable to spine area, wear at edges, chipped at spine ends and flap corners.
