關於這本電子書

They cut out part of his tubercular lung in prison. But after the breakout, all Larry Camonille can do is run and keep on running. He’s ready to die rather than go back inside. Mexico looks good, where the weather is more accommodating to a man with bad lungs. He wants to stay in Chicago and take care of that lying tramp who promised to keep the getaway money for him. But Chicago is too hot. On the lam, Camonille bums it down to Ohio. That’s where he meets Vera, a used-up lush with a warm and inviting manner. And Jan, fresh and young and boy-crazy. They both want something from Camonille, but all he has to give is his life.

“An ex-con on the run, a girl with a plan, murder, and a shattering showdown...bleeds noir from every page.”—Frank Loose

關於作者

Bruce Walter Gardner Lively Stacy Elliott (1914-1973) was an American writer of mystery fiction, science fiction, and television scripts. He was also a magician who wrote several books on magic. Elliott co-founded the magicians’ magazine Phoenix with Walter B. Gibson, as assistant editor, later editor.

Elliott’s 15 stories in The Shadow magazine between 1946 and 1948, are held in low regard by Shadow fans because of Elliott’s atypical handling of the character, best exemplified by the three stories in which the Shadow does not appear in his costumed identity.

Elliott contributed material to The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, including the acclaimed reverse-werewolf story “Wolves Don’t Cry” (1954) and a comic fantasy about Satan, “The Devil Was Sick”.[4]

In November 1972, Elliott was hit by a taxi, lapsed into a coma, and died four months later.
