First UK edition. This novel addresses the murder of a blind Puerta Rican boy by three members of a teenage Italian gang in a New York Slum.

Written by Evan Hunter, an American author and screenwriter. In the original full blue cloth binding. Externally, excellent. Original unclipped dust wrapper is very smart with light shelf wear.
