" Ingenious . . . Plunges the reader into a desperate, working-class America now better known through William Lindsay Gresham' s precisely contemporary novel Nightmare Alley and such film-noir classics as Out of the Past and The Postman Always Rings Twice." — Washington Post When Wally Hunter is found bludgeoned to death in an alley in Chicago' s near north side, his 18-year-old son, Ed, and carney brother, Ambrose, team up to find out who killed him. Winner of the 1948 Edgar Award, The Fabulous Clipjoint was Fredric Brown' s first novel, launching the Ed & Am Hunter mystery series and establishing Brown as one of the 20th century' s finest crime writers. Brown' s noir classic is available now for the first time as an audiobook, read by Brendon North. " [Ed & Am are] an engaging pair of detectives . . . [Fredric Brown is] a real pro— a natural storyteller." — New York Times " [E]nough good people put Brown on their must-read lists and then become evangelists to keep his name alive on the same high shelf as Hammett, Thompson, Ross Macdonald, and other crime icons." — Dick Adler, Chicago Tribune " [Fredric Brown is] my favorite writer of all time." — Mickey Spillane
