Here is a world populated by the kinds of people who risk their lives to right a wrong, make a buck, or save a friend. Included here is this collection are Police Band, Dead Man's Trail, The Hills of Homicide, and The Sucker Switch.Written and performed in the crackling pulp fiction style of the 1940's and 50s these thrilling, atmospheric stories course with authenticity and bear the mark of a timeless master.
