A hard-boiled detective mystery originally published in 1952, this novel
follows the adventures and investigations of hard-drinking, seasoned
private detective Russell Teed through the streets of Montreal and New
York City. When a gorgeous redhead with lovely green eyes offers a wad
of cash and a plane ticket to Montreal to help in an investigation,
Russell takes the case. It isn't long, however, before a run in with a
razor blade, a slug in his shoulder, and the knowledge that three tough
customers gunning for him all make Russell rue his decision. This
fast-paced plot from a master of pulp fiction makes for an ideal read
for mystery fans.
