Laconic coppers, lowlifes, and mysterious women double- and triple-cross their colleagues with practiced nonchalance. A man on a bender awakens in a small town with a dark mystery at its heart. A woman confronts a brutal truth about her husband. Here is classic noir: hard-boiled descriptions to rival Hemingway, verbal exchanges punctuated with pistol shots and fisticuffs. Devilishly plotted, whip-smart, impassioned, \u003cb\u003eNightmare Town\u003c\/b\u003e is a treasury of tales from America's poet laureate of the dispossessed.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Vintage Crime\/Black Lizard","offers":[{"title":"Nightmare Town: Stories | Dashiell Hammett | Paperback | 9780375701023 | Used: Like New | Mystery 1747447","offer_id":50899754385666,"sku":"1747447","price":21.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/71dzH315nHL.jpg?v=1793189786","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/nightmare-town-stories","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
