Crime and Punishment #65

Danny Ferris climbs from nothing—a violent kid with a quick mind and quicker fists—into the gritty underworld of a big city, drawn into the criminal ranks after a brutal beating leaves him seeking revenge. Detective John Payson pieces together the young man's rise through murder and muscle work, watching as ambition and rage propel him deeper into the mob's ranks under crime boss Buggsy Mays. But in the criminal world, the climb up is always shorter than the fall down, and Payson is closing in.

When a socialite's marriage crumbles into violence and threats, private detective Richard McCleary is drawn into a tangled case of greed, betrayal, and murder.

Based on an actual 1949 case, "The Dobbs Case" exposes how desperation and deception can transform an ordinary apartment building into a den of secrets.
