This noir classic by an Edgar Award winner delves into the mind of a criminal: “Close to the perfect psycho thriller . . . a relentless dance of death tempo.” —The New York Times
 
With innovative style far ahead of its time, this novel follows Joe Bailey, perched precariously on the fence between two lives. He’s seeing a good-hearted girl who holds the promise of a comfortably content, if uneventful, future. But he’s also passionately drawn to a femme fatale—and the world she inhabits, run by a tough Milwaukee racketeer.
 
Haunted by a childhood rhyme and accompanying trauma, Bailey wrestles with his demons, in this psychologically complex tale with a shocking twist by an award-winning author praised as “a natural storyteller” (The New York Times Book Review).
