Publisher's Summary: The Continental Op (an operative in a detective agency) is called out to the grim mining town of Personville, customarily referred to as Poisonville and corrupt from top to bottom, with every member of its police department on the task.The Op has been summoned by town boss Elihu Wilson to pin the murder of his son on a rival gang. But when the Op finds that the killing was one of passion, he takes the $10,000 fee and uses it to set one group of crooks against another. His aim, to "open up Poisonville from Adam's apple to ankle", is achieved. But his success is bought at a terrible cost to himself as he sees in himself a growing tendency to go "blood simple", finding in every common object (an ice pick, a length of wire, a cigarette lighter) a deadly weapon to turn against his enemies. |
