In Dead Man's Alley: The Complete Black Mask Cases of Bill Lennox, Volume 2 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781618279002)

Hollywood troubleshooter Bill Lennox is back on the job-and this time the stakes are higher, the rackets meaner, and the bodies harder to hide. In the shadows of 1930s Tinseltown, Lennox walks the line between studio brass, crooked cops, and killers who don't care if the cameras are rolling. In "Crime's Web," a routine clean-up spins into a maze of double-crosses. "Snatching Is Dynamite" pits Lennox against kidnappers who think a movie star is easy money. The title story, "In Dead Man's Alley," drags him into a back-lot killing ground where reputation is as deadly as any gun. And in "Murder Isn't Legal," he learns just how far the powerful will go to keep their secrets buried. Featuring an all-new introduction by pulp historian Bob Byrne, this volume restores four tough, fast-moving Black Mask classics to print for a new generation of crime readers.
