Synopsis

The Big Gamble It had started out as a normal weekend for Kent Murdock. A drive to the coast, a late dinner, a round of golf in the morning. But when he’s stopped for a traffic accident, his instincts kick in and he takes pictures. Nothing out of the ordinary for a newspaper photographer. That is until his car is stolen, the film goes missing, and he stumbles upon a dead blonde in the cabin next to his. Written by one of Black Mask’s stable of writers during its heyday, The Big Gamble is hard-boiled fiction at its best.
