Reseña del editor:
Roy Martin, a ruthless bank robber, is determined to find out who killed his partner and took the one hundred and seventy-eight thousand dollars they stole from an Arizona bank
Nota de la solapa:
ys with guts and a go-to-hell-with-you-Jack regard for consequences have about three chances in ten of pulling off a big, well-planned smash-and-grab. If one of them can shoot like me . . . the odds are a damn sight better."
In the course of his line of business, the man who calls himself Roy Martin has robbed a bank in Phoenix, killed three men, and caught a bullet in his arm. Safety--and one half of $178,000--awaits him on the other side of the country. All that separates "Martin" from his destination are two thousand treacherous miles and three lethal temptations: to trust the wrong friend, to love the right woman, and to start believing that a man like himself can ever be safe.
The Name of the Game is Death combines a narrative as taut as a hangman's rope with chillingly authentic insights into the psychology of casual murder.

Marlowe (1917 1986) was an American writer of crime fiction. Gunshots in Another Room: The Forgotten Life of Dan J. Marlowe (2012) by Charles Kelly, tells the story of Marlowe, his amnesia, his involvements with bank robber Albert Frederick Nussbaum and with murderer Bobby Randell Wilcoxson. 'The Name of the Game is Death" is the first of the "Drake" novels. It is among the hardest of the 'hard-boiled' crime novels; among 'noir' fiction, the very darkest. Right out of the gate, this novel puts the pedal to the metal and ratchets up the tension, dropping the reader in the dead center of a bank heist. The book is tightly plotted, moving fast from one excitement to the next, making for one wild ride. Marlowe had a real life "FBI's most wanted" criminal as consultant on his novels, lending credence to the real-life feel of his characters and scenarios. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 138 pages. pages.
