About This Item
New York: Pocket Books, Inc., 1949. First Edition; First Printing. Softcover . Used - very good. 32mo; 247pp. <b>First Edition, 'First Printing' Stated</b>. Uncreased spine slighly cocked. Faint crease marks to front cover which previous owner has filled in with balck felt-tipped marker, which is effective but certainly not for the purist.. Front cover not so much rubbed as dulled a bit, still, rather fresh. Back cover with light stianing, and with rubbing to fold.
Synopsis
The perfect crime goes awry. The problem? Human nature. The seemingly foolproof jewel heist requires the involvement of Doc Reimenschneider, a master criminal just out of prison, an itinerant hood named Dix, and their fence, the sleazy lawyer Alonzo Emmerich. The 1949 film, directed by John Huston, featured Sam Jaffe, Jean Hagen, and Marilyn Monroe.
