Hard-as-nails gangster ‘Big Nick’ Fenner and his associate Joey have known each other since childhood, when Fenner stood by as Joey was injured by a gunshot that left him mentally impaired. Their lives since then have been closely intertwined - but will they also end up following each other to the grave? This grim, violent entry from the third series of classic Hank Janson novels comes complete with its stunning original Reginald Heade artwork cover, which was censored on the book’s first publication in November 1951.
