Good friends with the D.A. but readily accepted by the underworld, he smoked cigarettes constantly, cursed frequently and had a bad habit of getting shot and beaten by his enemies. But always gave as good as he got; he was an experienced and persistent detective taking his cases very personally and killed many of his early foes, claiming they were reaching for a weapon. Myra Benz, who had shot him in the eye, was brazenly killed without any true justification beyond his own sense of justice. Hardcover (with Slipcase), 184 pages, full color. Cover price $62.99.
