For a private investigator, he's as respectable as they come. No wonder then he's summoned to Huntley Ashton's Westmount mansion. A respected captain of industry, the wealthy man knows the PI can be relied upon to be discreet. Ashton's daughter Helen has fallen into heroin addiction, and the millionaire wants Dent to smash the ring supplying her vice, just as he took down a ring operating in Korea. Set in 1954, the novel captures the dying days of the era in which Montreal had the reputation as one of the world's great sin cities. \u003ci\u003eThe Damned and the Destroyed\u003c\/i\u003e was originally published in 1962 by McClelland \u0026amp; Stewart in Canada and Dennis Dobson in the UK; this Ricochet Books edition marks the first print edition in more than five decades.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brian Busby, Kenneth Orvis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 155065523X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781550655230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vehicule Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.00h x 4.30w x 0.80d","brand":"Brian Busby","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43939572351231,"sku":"9781550655230","price":11.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_3266acab-b52d-4abc-a863-c19e3e2d6039.jpg?v=1681442285","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-damned-and-the-destroyed-brian-busby-9781550655230","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
