The third and final detective tale in this gritty series of vintage
mysteries--originally published in 1953--once again follows the
hard-drinking yet hardworking private eye, Russell Teed, through the
crooked streets of Montreal. When a brutally beaten body is found on the
city's famous mountain, private investigator Teed and his would-be
Watson, MacArnold, set out to right wrongs and discover the truth behind
the crime. Add a buxom brunette whose embrace brings treachery and a
large dose of vicious gang warfare, this hard-boiled, noir crime story
provides a glimpse into 1950s Montreal underworld life.
