Them That Lives by Their Guns - the Collected Hard-Boiled Stories of Race Williams Volume 1

"Originally appearing in the pages of Black Mask Magazine, author Carroll John Daly pioneered the hard-boiled P.I. story and perfected the genre with his classic character, Race Williams. Apart from the novel-length Race Williams stories, these classic hard-boiled thrillers have rarely been reprinted, if ever. Volume 1 contains the first 16 Race Williams stories, all from 1923-26 issues of Black Mask."--Website.
