This is supposed to be his first book.. and my favorite author's! So i kinda took it with a lot of expectations... but to describe this book in one word, it's DEPRESSING!
its a thoroughly depressing thriller or story or whatever.. involving only MOBS & COPS.
Beautiful Miss.Blandish is kidnapped for ransom and she undergoes terrible things in the hands of these vicious kidnappers.. especially slim grissom, one of the evil guys.
Dave Fenner the private investigator investigates the case and succeeds.... but finally, everyone dies!
the language is utterly low-brow & cheap! just like the bad mobs use...!
Miss.Blandish's fate is so overwhelming that we feel sorry for her at the end.
