About This Item
Garden City, NY: Published For The Crime Club By Doubleday & Company, Inc., 1957. First edition. Ink stamp to front free end paper "Property CBS-TV Story Department Hollywood," a fine copy in a nearly fine dust jacket with a little darkening to spine panel and fade to spine lettering, several small light scratches to the front panel. An elusive book in condition. (32033). Octavo, boards. An average neighborhood family man is brutally beaten by five young men. When he recover he tries to find the identities of the culprits, who have continued to attack people. "This is Brackett's best crime novel-a simple, straightforward, consistently gripping, and powerful story of one man's nightmare encounter with random teenage violence." "Fine writing and some genuinely harrowing scenes make THE TIGER AMONG US one of the best of the spate of fifties novels dealing with juvenile delinquency. In the forcefulness of its message, in fact, it is second only to Evan Hunter's mainstream novel THE BLACKBOARD JUNGLE." - Pronzini and Muller, 1001 Midnights, The Aficionado's Guide to Mystery and Detective Fiction, p. 81. Filmed in 1962 as "13 West Street" with Alan Ladd and Rod Steiger.
