No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
A name like Poetry Brookman seemed trouble enough for one man, but Brookman also owed money to bookie Jake Martello, until somebody ended his misery one dark night. Martello hired Mark Preston to look into it, and he ran into some odd people: like Hugo Somerset, who promoted everybody; a new-style college hoodlum, Clyde Hamilton; and the regular variety in the shape of Legs McCann.
Preston preferred the shape of blackmail victim Eve Prince, but time was running out. People were getting killed, the Martello brothers impatient, and Homicide suspicious. Preston knew heβd need a lot of luck this time, if he was to stay out of trouble.
