About this listen

This beloved, larger-than-life thriller from Edgar Award - winning author Fredric Brown stars Bill Sweeney, an ace reporter with an otherworldly drinking problem who gets mixed up with a naked woman as the latter is trying to avoid becoming the fourth victim of a local serial killer - "the Ripper". Rousing himself from his drunken stupor in order to aid the woman, Bill sets out on the killer's trail. As he puts questions and answers together, he finds himself face-to-face with madness and death.

In this wild ride from a renowned author, you'll visit an insane asylum, meet a bum named "God", and discover the little statue that ties everything together.

This is a terrific pulp noir from Fredric Brown.I've always had a liking for the low budget film of the same name by Gerd Oswald, from 1958. However , this is much better then the film and I look forward to reading more of Fredric Browns stories in the future.The narration by Stefan Rudniki was spot on ,for this type of story.
