[Volume 1]: Fredric Brown's The murderers, a darkly comic look at a murderous plot hatched on the hip fringes of Hollywood; Dan J. Marlowe's terrifying The name of the game is death, about a nihilistic career criminal on the run; Charles Williams's Dead calm, a masterful novel of natural peril and human evil on the high seas; Dorothy B. Hughes's The expendable man, an unsettling tale of racism and wrongful accusation in the American Southwest; and Richard Stark's taut The score, in which the master thief Parker plans the looting of an entire city with the cool precision of an expert mechanic; [Volume 2]: The fiend, in which Margaret Millar maps the interlocking anxieties of a seemingly tranquil California suburb through the rippling effects of a child's disappearance; Ed McBain's classic police procedural Doll, a story that mixes murder, drugs, fashion models, and psychotherapy with the everyday professionalism of the 87th Precinct; Run man run, Chester Himes's nightmarish tale of racism and police violence that follows a desperate young man seeking safe haven in New York City while being hunted by the law; and Patricia Highsmith's ultimate meta-thriller, The tremor of forgery, a novel in which a displaced traveler finds his own personality collapsing as he attempts to write a novel about a man coming undone." -- From back covers. 650 0 $a Crime $z United States $x History $v Fiction. 650 0 $a American fiction $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Anthologies. 700 1 $a O'Brien, Geoffrey, $d 1948- $e editor. 700 1 $a Brown, Fredric, $d 1906-1972. $t Murderers. 700 1 $a Marlowe, Dan J., $d 1914-1987. $t Name of the game is death. 700 1 $a Williams, Charles, $d 1909-1975. $t Dead calm. 700 1 $a Hughes, Dorothy B. $q (Dorothy Belle), $d 1904-1993. $t Expendable man. 700 1 $a Stark, Richard, $d 1933-2008. $t Score. 700 1 $a Millar, Margaret, $d 1915-1994. $t Fiend. 700 1 $a McBain, Ed, $d 1926-2005. $t Doll. 700 1 $a Himes, Chester B., $d 1909-1984. $t Run man run. 700 1 $a Highsmith, Patricia, $d 1921-1995. $t Tremor of forgery. 830 0 $a Library of America ; $v 370, 371. 941 $a 3 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240517012302.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240202030257.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20240202024039.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=112063F6933C11EEBCD0C43545ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
