A decent read if not a bit dated
Perhaps 4 stars is a bit generous but it is a classic pulp story and decent read. For the price it was reasonable though probably could find it free somewhere.

Interesting to see just how far back men's adventure/crime writing goes. Very declarative and terse. Elmore Leonard and Hemmingway and a bunch of others carry this style on in different directions and to more effect.
