Classic hard-boiled crime fiction read by Jeff Harding.

Exciting, hard-hitting and gruesome by turn, this 1939 novel delivers violent, bloody fiction. American heiress Miss Blandish is kidnapped by a gang of inept criminals trying their hand at big-time crime. Their plans are foiled when a rival mob, led by the sadist Slim Grisson, set their sights on the glamorous million-dollar hostage. Meanwhile, Private Detective Dave Fenner is hired to rescue her. Fenner is no stranger to the criminal underworld. If corruption and violence are necessary, Fenner will do what it takes to get the job done. Behind the scenes, Slim becomes obsessed with his hostage, lashing out at anyone who attempts to wrestle Miss Blandish from his charge. When Fenner makes his move, Slim won’t give her up without a fight.
The narration of Jeff Harding, a prolific American actor and audiobook reader, injects new energy into this fast-paced crime classic.
