Crusade

[a good sound copy with modest shelfwear, some age-toning to edges of text block; the jacket is a bit edgeworn with tiny bits of paper loss at several corners, one short but ragged tear and associated creasing at the bottom edge of the front panel The "two-fisted leader of Westportal's Y.M.C.A." takes on corrupt politics and police in this "typical small American city." "Elected to the important office of Director of Security, Cardiff and his aids proceed rough-shod to raid speakeasies, destroy stills, and to turn the whole police department upside down. The result is that the husky reformer comes into dangerous personal contact with criminal factions, is plunged into the midst of bootleg wwars, of bombings, of general violence.and at last, troubled by both family and public affairs, falls into the very web of corruption that he had set himself to destroy."
