By W.R. Burnett.

Published by Dial.
Published 1929.
Hardcover.
First edition.
Description:
Rico is a small, pale man, but he has guts, endurance and a
steely single-mindedness. When Vettori sends the gang out to rob a local
nightclub, Rico shoots a cop who pulls a gun on him. They get away, but Vettori
is shocked. He had told Rico, no gunplay. That’s when Rico realizes that
Vettori has gone soft. He’s too old to control the gang anymore. So Rico takes
over. With the faithful Otero at his side, the rest of them quickly shift their
allegiances. Now the world is Rico’s. It’s his gang, and he’s calling all the
shots. But there is always a weak link, someone who’s ready to spill when the
bulls get tough. And sooner or later the nightclub killing is bound to catch up
with him.

Description:
Little Caesar, a 1931 Hollywood
gangster classic, is viewed in revivals today with nearly as much audience
enthusiasm as it enjoyed a half-century ago, in the depths of the Great
Depression.
In general, the Hollywood film industry
responded to the dark economic conditions of the 1930s with escapist and
non-topical films. The fascinating exception was the gangster film, through
which the studios joined in the debate over the spiritual and economic health
of the nation. Little Caesar, considered by many to be an architype of
the genre, is one of the most memorable dramatizations of the discontent and
alienation, the deep anxiety and hostility shared by millions of Americans
during those dark years.

Description:
Master sleuth Philo
Vance is baffled by a series of grisly murders committed by the sinister “Bishop,”
who uses Mother Goose rhymes for inspiration. The killings are the handiwork of
genius gone awry, and the suspects are all distinguished intellectuals of the
highest order: a physicist, a mathematician, an astronomer, a chess master. Set
against the rich tapestry of New York City in the gilded 1920s, this is a
brilliant mystery featuring the debonaire, aristocratic sleuth who was America’s
first classic detective.
“So Philo Vance will be
darting around again. Good!” – Rex Stout.
“A
nightmarish shocker, a dazzling deductive work… Vance’s greatest triumph.” –
Chris Steinbrunner.
