I had a dossier that made Dillinger look like a petty thief. This information was on a white card in a metal file in the prison records office. Attached to it was a newspaper clipping, describing the trial and the sentence and another describing the robbery itself. Only thing about it -- it didn't describe the whole truth. A classic crime novel!

Terrific short novel
A terrific short novel from 1954 that was recently brought back into print by Wildside Press. Like the best of the ’50s paperback pulp fiction, the story has a lean and propulsive plot with plenty of hard-boiled dialog and violence. What set it apart for me is the originality of the plot, the well-drawn female characters, and a couple of twists that totally surpised me. A top notch gem that clearly deserves to find a bigger audience. Recommended.
