      Corruption, murder, beauty and innocence . . . ''Great crime fiction started with Hammett'' James Ellroy

      ''Not just the first of the tough school of crime-writing but the best'' THE TIMES

      Ned Beaumont is a tall, thin, moustache-wearing, TB-ridden, drinking, gambling, hanger-on to the political boss of a corrupt Eastern city.

      Nevertheless, like every Hammett hero (and like Hammett himself), he has an unbreakable, if idiosyncratic, moral code. Ned''s boss wants to better himself with a thoroughbred senator''s daughter; but does he want it badly enough to commit murder? If he''s innocent, who wants him in the frame? Beaumont must find out.
