Requirements: ePUB reader, 0.9Mb
Overview: Don Tracy, whose first novel was Round Trip, brought him into the front rank of the “hard-boiled” school of writers, has achieved even greater success with CRISS-CROSS.
“Johnny Thompson” (born Benjamin S. Neischtadt) finds that being a small-time prize fighter interferes with regular eating, so he gets a job as guard on an armored truck. His broken nose, scar on his left jaw, and a broken knuckle do not embrace his charms for the fair sex, but this does not keep him from courting Anna, a blonde with lascivious eyes and seductive curves. However, Johnny, is not “in the dough” and Anna passes him up for Slim.
Trapped into staging a fake hold-up, Johnny double-crosses Slim and kills him, in this way becoming a hero and also taking possession of Anna. But double-crossing can be worked both ways, and in the end fate catches up with Johnny Thompson.
CRISS-CROSS is an exciting, hard-boiled and cold-blooded novel, enthusiastically recommended to all who want real realism.
