Description
Tough and hard as the Ozarks that bred him, Rene Berg fought his way up through the gang of Chicago during the days of prohibition. Then, at the peak of his power and success, he was framed by a beautiful woman and forced to flee for his life.
How this dashing, steel-nerved gunman turns up years later as the “dark hero” of the Norwegian underground makes a story that will hold you spellbound. Thrill piles upon thrill as Berg pits his skill and courage, learned in the grim school of Chicago gangdom, against the vicious if efficiency of the German Gestapo. And then, once again, he runs afoul of the lovely woman who had betrayed him.
Here is Cheyney at his exciting best, as he brings this swift-paced and action-packed novel up to a climax that will leave you breathless. All the usual Cheyney ingredients are blended into this one delightful story—the crisp and colorful dialogue, the luscious ladies, the aura of intrigue and mystery.
