Recensione:

"Few writers are Rabe's equal in the field of the hardboiled gangster story." -Bill Crider, Twentieth Century Crime & Mystery Writers "When he was rolling, crime fiction just didn't get any better." -Ed Gorman, Mystery Scene "These books offer realistic psychology, sharp turns of phrase, and delightfully deadpan humor that make them cry out for rediscovery."-Keir Graff, Booklist

L'autore:

Peter Rabe was born in Germany as Peter Rabinowitsch in 1921, immigrating to the U.S. with his brother in 1938 to escape the Nazis. He enrolled at Ohio State University and received his Ph.D. in psychology from Western Reserve in Cleveland. Married, he began his writing career by turning in a humorous story about the birth of his first son. Soon after, he began submitting hardboiled stories to Gold Medal where he found an enthusiastic editor and a ready market. After three divorces, health problems and the death of the paperback original, Rabe eventually quit writing and took up teaching psychology at California Polytechnic State University in the late 60's. He died in 1990 at his home in Atascadero, California.
