Condición: Paperback, New. Eureka: Stark House Press:, 2022. Paperback, New, 203 pp. "One thing for certain, Tasker was considerably more adept at writing than he was at armed robbery. On St. Valentine's Day, 1924, Tasker walked into Sauer's Dance Parlor in Oakland, California and mounted the bandstand where Les Hite's band was playing. Good-looking enough to be mistaken for the band's master of ceremonies or their recently acquired white crooner, he commandeered the microphone, reached into his jacket pocket and produced a revolver.
