[True crime] FIRST AMERICAN EDITION, association copy, from the library of screenwriter John Michael Hayes (signature within). Octavo (21 x 14cm), pp.160. Illustrated with photos and drawings. Publisher's light blue hardcovers with titles in white to the spine, with four white circles representing diamonds stamped to upper. Black pictorial dust-jacket, clipped in the usual Macmillan manner but retaining the price of $3.50 to flap.
