Homicide House and Other Stories — Day Keene

This is the sixth volume of criminous short stories by Day Keene published by Ramble House. Originally presented in various pulp magazines in the 30s, these stories represent the best in hard-boiled fiction pre-Spillane. Keene was known for his excellent novels but he truly shone in the short story format where his pithy, down-to-earth prose perfectly described the day-to-day life of the typical American loser.
