| Three Thousand to the Good by Carroll John Daly is a classic tale of high-stakes crime, intrigue, and action, showcasing the pioneering hardboiled style that Daly masterfully crafted. This gripping novella plunges readers into the fast-paced and morally complex world of Race Williams, the trailblazing private investigator who defined the genre. In this story, Williams takes on a seemingly straightforward assignment: to retrieve three thousand dollars that has gone missing under mysterious circumstances. But as he delves deeper into the case, it quickly becomes evident that the stakes are far higher than a simple cash recovery. Betrayal, danger, and hidden agendas weave through the narrative, with each twist and turn drawing Williams into a web of deception. Daly’s signature style—gritty, fast-paced, and full of razor-sharp dialogue—shines as Race navigates a world of shady characters, double-crosses, and explosive confrontations. Through sheer determination, cunning, and a knack for finding trouble, Williams pushes forward, leaving a trail of justice (and chaos) in his wake. This illustrated edition adds an extra layer of immersion, bringing the tense atmosphere and vivid action to life. Three Thousand to the Good is a must-read for fans of noir fiction, celebrating Carroll John Daly’s enduring impact on the genre and the legacy of one of crime fiction’s most iconic detectives. |
