A Gunman Close Behind

Mike Lantry, the tough, hard-bitten chief of World Wide Investigations, is on his way back to New York after a restful vacation when he gives a ride to a lone girl on an Indiana highway. Lantry's up to his neck in from that moment on, coming into contact with gun-wielding hoodlums and crooked cops and the head of the Mafia in the Midwestern United States. When he joins forces with plucky Joanne Kilvert to pull down a crook's empire, he embarks on a tense chase in which, for every inch of his action-packed way, there's always...A GUNMAN CLOSE BEHIND! Great hardboiled crime fiction from the 1950s!
