Evanston, IL: Regency Books, 1963. First edition. Paperback. First edition. 158 [2] pp. Bound in publisher's wraps. Very Good, lightly worn, small tear to corner of p. 152 and tiny dampstain to adjacent page. A masterpiece of tightly-plotted crime fiction that was the basis of the 1990 Stephen Frears neo-noir film with John Cusack, Annette Bening, and Anjelica Huston. Anyone who has seen the movie or read the book will never look at a bag of oranges quite the same way.
