Publisher: Stark House Format: Trade Paperback Description: "He had few peers among noir writers of the 50's and 60's; he has few peers today." -- Bill Pronzini "When he was rolling, crime fiction just didn't get any better." --Ed Gorman, Mystery Scene Magazine "Few writers are Rabe's equal in the field of the hardboiled gangster story." --Bill Crider, Twentieth Century Crime & Mystery Writers THE BOX: Quinn thought he had all the angles figured. But that's when boss Ryder had him stuffed into a crate and shipped around the world. The box is opened in the North African town of Okar, and what emerges is barely human. But once Quinn recovers, he discovers he has a new chance at life. JOURNEY INTO TERROR: There was a botched robbery and John Bunting's fiance is killed. The cops weren't going to do anything, so he sets out to find the killers himself. That's when he meets Linda, who's just lost her husband. Two wounded souls, one filled with hate, the other with pain--it's funny how much they needed each other. About the Author: Peter Rabe was one of the best writers of the Gold Medal line of hardboiled books produced during the 50's and 60's, which also gave us such authors as John D. MacDonald, David Goodis and Charles Williams. His lean, laconic style perfectly suited his studies of characters on the edge of the law. Rabe was born in Germany in 1921 and immigrated to the US in 1938, where he received his Masters and Ph.D. in psychology. He lived throughout the US and Europe, finally settling in the Los Angeles area, where he died in 1990 of lung cancer. Availability: Usually ships within 2-3 business days.
