Inhaltsangabe:

Two thrillers by the author whom Ed Gorman in The Big Book of Noir, has hailed as "the best of all the Gold Medal writers." Author Max Allan Collins calls Williams the "the best kept secret in noir fiction. This edition includes a very thorough review of all of Williams' works by Rick Ollerman.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: Charles Williams was born in San Angelo, Texas, on August 13, 1909. He served as a radio operator for the United States Merchant Marine from 1929-1939, later working at the Puget Sound Navy Yard before moving to San Francisco. Williams didn't write his first novel until he was nearly 40, but the first printing of this book, Hill Girl, sold over a million copies for Gold Medal Books. His basic stories of lustful, greedy men brought down by their pursuit of big money and a conniving woman was gradually replaced by intriguing thrillers set at sea, two of the best of these being Scorpion Reef and Aground. Many of his novels have been successfully filmed, including Dead Calm and The Hot Spot. After Williams's wife died of cancer, he became increasingly despondent, and committed suicide in Van Nuys, California, on April 5, 1975.
