Contact seller5-star sellerFirst Paperback edition. Delamination to the lower front corner and a trifle cocked, else a lovely bright copy of a noir classic. Young promoter Frankie Christopher is accused of the murder of Vicky Lynn, a young actress he "discovered" as a waitress while out with ex-actor Robin Ray and gossip columnist Larry Evans. Police offi…cer Cornell knows that Frankie is innocent but because the evidence is completely incriminating, he tries to put the suspect behind bars anyway. Frankie escapes and eventually finds the murderer's true identity. Very scarce.

Contact seller5-star sellerdj. First Edition. First Edition. INSCRIBED by Fisher to Hollywood producer Milton Sperling, who produced the first adaptation of Fisher's fiction to the screen, the seminal 1941 noir, "I Wake Up Screaming": "For Milton Sperling / In sincere appreciation / and with very best wishes for his success, health and happiness / Steve F…isher / Sept. 15, 1941." The inscription was likely made near the end of the film's production, as Fisher co-authored the screenplay in addition to having written the novel, and the film opened in the US a little more than a month later, on October 31, 1941. Sperling worked in Hollywood between 1936 and 1971, and also produced such notable films as Pursued (1947), The Enforcer (1951), and The Battle of the Bulge (1965). A tremendous association marking the beginning of Steve Fisher's impressive career as a screenwriter, and an uncommon title in jacket, written the same year-a novel informed by his experiences in the US Navy. About Fine in a Very Good plus, spine-faded dust jacket. Signed.
