Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. HOW TO COMMIT A MURDER"What sort of third degree do they give you for murder?""Listen, mister," said Danny, and began. He told me how one went about covering one's tracks after committing a murder, then branched out into a description of the underworld and its professions. All unconsciously he gave me the underworld's point of view, which is his own-the underworld's code of ethics, its needs, and its safeguards against attack. He made me realize for the first time that there existed in our midst a people as foreign to our own society as any group of raw immigrants-a group that thought differently, lived differently, and reacted differently to social standards and customs. Prompted occasionally by a question he talked for four and a half solid hours-from two-thirty to seven-painting a picture of the underworld which was fascinating in its color and intimacy."Will you put all that into a book?" I asked finally."Sure I will. Anything you say. And not a thing I can't prove."And that is the way How to Commit a Murder was conceived.

Hardback. Condición: Very Good. Presumed First UK Edition. 1930. Presumed first UK edition, with a preface by Richard Church. [v], 254pp. and a frontispiece portrait. Danny Ahearn (1901-1960) was the oldest of nine children. In 1926 he was wounded in a gun battle in Brooklyn where two men were killed, and in 1934 he received 2 ½ years in New York's notorious Sing Sing Prison for fraud?his second term there also for fraud came in 1937. Though not a writer of any sort?he was, in fact, a career criminal at this time. Later on he would be a reporter for The Daily Worker and several newspapers, as well as script writer for Warner Brothers in Hollywood in 1932-33. At 45 years of age, he was sentenced to 20 years to life for robbery. This book, narrated by Danny Ahearn, was first published in the USA under the title 'How to Commit a Murder'. It is a career criminal's "how to" guide for the uninitiated, crimes certainly not limited to murder. Chapter titles include: How to Rob a Jewelry Store, How to Stick Up a Fur Joint, Straight Stickups, How to Run a Crap Game, Pulling a Phony Pinch, Beating a Frameup, and How to Commit a Murder. The book is bound in the original black cloth covered boards with gold titling on the spine. The case of the book is in very good condition with shelf wear and some soiling to the boards and fading along the top 1 1/4" of the front board. There is wear with a little bit of damage to the cloth on the corner tips and about 1/4" of damage to the cloth on the fore edge of the front board. Both spine ends are bumped with some damage and a little loss to the cloth. The contents are tight and clean with slight age-browning to the page margins and a name and address has been written in pencil on the front free endpaper. The front fixed endpaper bears the attractive "seahorses" bookplate of F. [Fryniwyd] Tennyson Jesse, an English journalist, author and criminologist.
