The Doom That Dwelt in Baltimore — Riley S. Meachem

Baltimore. 1952. A detective sets up shop in a nasty part of town. His name is Benedict Trius, but who is he? Is he an arrogant, monstrously cruel human being, living out a sad and violent life because of his bloody temper and insufferable arrogance? Or a tragic hero, desperately trying to repair a world choking on wealth and dead morals? That question, and others like it, will be answered in "The Doom That Dwelt In Baltimore," a book as thrillingly simple as it is tragically complex.
