This noir classic by an Edgar Award winner delves into the mind of a criminal: "Close to the perfect psycho thriller . . . a relentless dance of death tempo." —The New York Times

With innovative style far ahead of its time, this novel follows Joe Bailey, perched precariously on the fence between two lives. He's seeing a good-hearted girl who holds the promise of a comfortably content, if uneventful, future. But he's also passionately drawn to a femme fatale—and the world she inhabits, run by a tough Milwaukee racketeer.

Haunted by a childhood rhyme and accompanying trauma, Bailey wrestles with his demons, in this psychologically complex tale with a shocking twist by an award-winning author praised as "a natural storyteller" (The New York Times Book Review).

The Murderers

Tue, 23 Nov 2021 11:05:56 +0200

Lust plus greed equals murder in this classic Hollywood noir novel by "a real pro" (The New York Times Book Review).

A struggling actor, Willy Griff keeps himself entertained with the wife of a business mogul, but he wants more: He also wants the business mogul's money. The mistress, Doris, likes the idea even more than Willy does, and figures if she helps plan the murder, she can ditch the husband and keep the cash.

It's a dangerous scheme for two low-level, aspiring criminals. But Willy comes up with an ingenious, foolproof plot for pulling it off. At least, he better hope it's foolproof . . .

The Murderers is a gritty tale of crime and passion from Fredric Brown, a master of noir and mystery and winner of the prestigious Edgar Award.

Fredric Brown (1906-1972) is perhaps best remembered for his use of humor and his mastery of the “short-short” form (these days called flash fiction)—stories of one to three pages, often with ingenious plotting devices and surprise endings. This volume contains 27 of his stories, including the classics "The Waveries," "Honeymoon in Hell," "Cartoonist," and many more!

The Wench Is Dead

Wed, 14 Sep 1977 11:05:53 +0300

Howard Perry has become a drunk - a skid row bum. It wasn't always so, and he has hopes of returning to be a respected university student. But now he spends his days washing dishes to buy enough booze to hopefully blackout at night. His only friend is a prostitute name Billie the Kid. But Billie is just a working girl, and it would be stupid for him to care too much for her.Of course Perry isn't exactly making the smartest choices as he continues his downward spiral. And when he goes to borrow a drink from Billie's neighbor, who soon turns up murdered, things are looking even worse for Perry.
