<DIV><DIV><b>Ten stories of murder and suspense from one of the all-time masters of pulp fiction</b></div><DIV><BR>An addled ex-boxer named Tiny Tim ambles out of the shadows and complains to a beat cop that he is being followed. The officer laughs him off; everyone knows that Tiny Tim has heard footsteps behind him for years. But a few minutes later, Tim is spotted in a pool of blood, dead at the bottom of the subway steps. After years of running, the imagined footsteps have caught up to him at last.</div><DIV><BR>This brisk tale of deception and murder is but one of the stories in this collection from Hugh B. Cave, a master of pulp fiction whose career spanned seventy-five years. Along with Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler, Cave was one of the defining authors of&#160;<i>Black Mask&#160;</i>magazine, and these stories are perfect examples of what set that pulp apart. Hard-boiled, fast-paced, and witty, the tales of&#160;<i>Long Live the Dead&#160;</i>are just as captivating now as they were on the newsstand many decades ago.</div></div>
