Armchair Fiction presents large, deluxe editions of classic mystery-crime novels. “The Crooked City” is a taut, nail-biting novel of corruption and greed by Robert Kyle. “MacBAIN CAUGHT, JAILED IN QUINN MURDER—Professional Cop’s Wife in Love Triangle” That was what the headlines read. It was a tough spot for a not-so-tough man—James MacBain. MacBain lived in an asphalt tabernacle for prostitutes, dope pushers, and murderers. A seething metropolis veiled by a facade of respectability, until one long summer night when it suddenly erupted into a wake of violence. MacBain was just an average man, but a man who could toughen up quickly when things got rough—and with a circle of thugs trying to put him into the ground, things couldn’t get any rougher. Here is an authentic, power-packed novel of violence bred in the dingy gutters of a city’s unbridled corruption. But it is also the story of one ordinary man who was pushed too far—and finally decided that enough was enough.
