| book description |

'Ingenious . . . Plunges the reader into a desperate, working-class America' Washington Post In 1940s Chicago, a man is killed in the midst of a night-long bender, caught between barrooms in what appears to be a mugging gone awry. The police arenâ€™t interested in finding Wallaceâ€™s murderer, but his teenage son, Ed, thinks thereâ€™s more to this than meets the eye. The witnesses arenâ€™t telling the whole story, and in the process of finding the killer, Ed makes another discovery: Wallace was a very different man to the father he thought he knew. The Edgar Award-winning novel that announced a legendary voice in crime fiction, The Fabulous Clipjoint is the first in Fredric Brownâ€™s long-running Ed & Am Hunter series. The bookâ€™s memorable mixture of a hardboiled mystery with an urban coming of age narrative remains fresh to this day.
