At the Stroke of Midnight — John Butler

Butler and Midnight steer through a long-ago milieu so real that you can see the shadows of the palm trees and the hint of neon just outside the headlight beams, smell the cigar ash embedded in the seatcovers, taste the harsh liquor in the glove-compartment bottle, and feel the sting of the blackjack as it thuds against your skull. At The Stroke of Midnight reprints all nine classic stories of Steve Midnight straight from the pages of DIME DETECTIVE MAGAZINE, interior illustrations, advertisements and all.
