Laughing Death

Laughing Death is a story of gunfire and airships, of love and revenge. Sanford Greer (S.G.), Prosecuting Attorney of Center City, is put "on the spot" by five men. Gary Greer, who is the pilot in charge of the South Side Airport, starts out to get those five men and avenge his father's death.

Swift, written in dynamic prose, thrill piled on thrill, this book by Raoul Whitfield has the gusto of an Edgar Wallace, and something of the power of a Dashiell Hammett.

Quite possibly Raoul Whitfield's best novel, it has achieved legendary status due to its rarity, no doubt due to it appearing in desirable issues of Black Mask Magazine which also published serial installments of The Maltese Falcon and The Glass Key. Rarely have readers had the chance to read this superior series in its original form, until now. Includes an all-new introduction by James Reasoner.
