Soft cover. Condición: Good to Very Good. First Edition By This Publisher. 3 1/2 page Introduction Letter by Ellery Queen. 190 pages. "Here are twenty long-unavailable stories by the master who brought us The Maltese Falcon. Laconic coppers, lowlifes, and mysterious women double- and triple-cross their colleagues with practiced nonchalance. A man on a bender awakens in a small town with a dark mystery at its heart. A woman confronts a brutal truth about her husband. Here is classic noir: hard-boiled descriptions to rival Hemingway, verbal exchanges punctuated with pistol shots and fisticuffs. Devilishly plotted, whip-smart, impassioned, Nightmare Town is a treasury of tales from America's poet laureate of the dispossessed." >> Wear & creasing to covers; Size: 16mo - over 5¾" - 6¾" tall Size: 16mo - over 5¾ - 6¾" tall.
