12 Against The Law

By Edward D. Radin. "Larceny, violence and sudden death may be the sheerest melodrama to most of us; to some poeple they are the humdrum stuff of which life is made. We meet some of those people" -- like cops, lab techs, M.E.s, and alleged perps -- in Radin's midcentury classic.  A bunch of visible chips and splits to the jacket of the hardcover, as well as some...impact marks to the page edges along the bottom -- but the boards are in fine shape, it sits straight, and the pages are clean and tight. A nice pickup of the very first Edgar-winner for Best Fact Crime. (Happy to add a wrap on this one; leave a note at checkout!)
