First published by Knopf the same year, this uses that publisher's Detective Book Club jacket with the title page showing the Walter Black imprint. A Kent Murdock mystery involving a Hollywood starlet and a king's ransom in smuggled jewels. The uncredited dust jacket, a triumph of noir intrigue, is now housed in a removable, clear archival sleeve.
