The Short Night - 9781957868783

It's 1957. Lester "Red" Dolsan is a former first baseman, now a talent scout for the Brooklyn Dodgers, who is haunted by the suicide of his alcoholic wife...and the discovery that he may have fathered a child in a one-night stand with a lonely, concentration camp survivor with a fake name. His search for the child, and his former lover, leads him into a nightmare of crime, violence and betrayal, with a fortune hanging in the balance. "Turner spins this out neatly, peopling it with bit players who come alive on the page [including] one of the most engaging, mysterious ladies I've ever come across in crime fiction." Dan Stumpf, Mystery File "Taut, sexy. Combines elements of Spillane and Erle Stanley Gardner." People Today Russell Turner was a pseudonym for Leonard S. Zinberg (1911-1968), best known for his work written as "Ed Lacy."
