Inhaltsangabe:

A Devil for O'Shaugnessy is published here for the first time and is the story of a con to steal a dead man's inheritance. The Three-Way Split, originally published in 1960, is a frantic attempt to find a treasure in sunken loot. Also included are three short stories by the author.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: Gil Brewer was born Nov. 20, 1922 in Cauandaigua, NY. After leaving the army at the end of WWII, he joined his family who had settled in St. Petersburg, Florida. There he met Verlaine in 1947 and married her soon after. Brewer started by writing serious novels, but soon turned to paperback originals after a sale to Gold Medal Books in 1950. At his height, he was a brilliant writer of sharply defined noir thrillers, usually involving a male protagonist driven to crime by the sexual allure of a young siren. But unwilling to promote himself, his career took a turn for the worse after a mental breakdown, and a long decline into alcoholism. Brewer died on Jan. 9, 1983.
