Steel Cut Steel - Paperback

by Max Brand (Author), Frederick Faust (Author), Walter De Maris (Illustrator)

In a world of vengeance, wanderer Red Toomey is drawn into a sinister plot orchestrated by the crippled Crawford. Convinced of Lawrence Oliver's betrayal, Toomey kidnaps the notorious Big Fellow, securing him with gangsters Slip and Bushmill in a hidden hideaway. Cryptic symbols intensify the vendetta-a poker chip, an ocean liner, and a hotel-a mystery Toomey grapples with as the Big Fellow suffers. Love complicates Toomey's mission when he kidnaps Sally Moore, believing her as ruthless as the Big Fellow. Yet, a revelation from Oliver shakes Toomey's convictions. Returning to Crawford, Toomey confronts the shocking truth about Sally and faces the dark intentions of the cripple. Betrayed and left for dead by Crawford's henchman George, Toomey discovers the traitorous gangster Flannigan near death in the cellar. Brace yourself for a pulse-pounding journey into Max Brand's gripping narrative, where every twist reveals the razor-sharp edge of steel against steel.
