'The new crime and espionage series from Penguin Classics makes for a mouth-watering prospect' Daily Telegraph
Los Angeles, the late 1940's. A serial killer stalks the foggy streets at night ...
Dix Steele, a former fighter pilot, moved to L.A. after the war, looking for a new life. But the city is gripped by fear of a murderer in its midst. Dix, however, is not scared. And when he bumps into his old friend Brub, now a detective on the trail of the culprit, he is excited to follow the police's progress. A dark and terrible truth is revealed, in a noir novel like no other.
Rezension:
Dorothy B. Hughes was in a class of her own. To be a female author of hard-boiled fiction back in the 1940s was unusual enough, but to write a first-person narrative from the viewpoint of a male serial killer was breaking new ground by anybody's standards. She marked out this territory years before most other writers even knew it existed. Max Decharne, author of Hardboiled Hollywood: The Origins of Great Crime Films
