They Shoot Horses, Don’t They?
The marathon dance craze flourished during the 1930s, but the underside was a competition and violence unknown to most ballrooms a dark side that Horace McCoy’s classic American novel powerfully captures.

In the city of Coltron, Mike Dolan wages a lone war against corruption. Surrounded by lies, he wants to print the truth in his paper. Mike’s friends try to stop him with words, but his enemies – the society abortionist, the discredited baseball player, and the neo-fascist ‘Crusaders’ – try lead pipes and bullets. But Mike’s not after a Pulitzer Prize; he’s after a clean city and a clearer conscience – no matter what the cost.
