[a solid, clean book, slightly bumped at top front corner, spine cloth a little mottled, vintage bookseller's label on rear pastedown (The Village Book Shop, Carmel, Calif.); jacket is edgeworn, with a 2-inch closed tear at top of front panel, slight fading to spine]. Novel about a young newspaperman who gets the goods on a bunch of crooked politicians, but is kidnapped and framed on a hit-and-run manslaughter charge and sent to the state pen before he can give crucial testimony in court. Turned into a hard-hitting 1938 film by Warner Bros. with Jimmy Cagney and George Raft in the leads. (This edition was apparently printed from the first edition plates; although the binding and dust jacket state G&D, the internals include the original Bobbs-Merrill front matter, including the "First Edition" statement.)
