Hardback. Harold R. Danforth & James D. Horan, Victor Gollancz Ltd. Condition remarks:Book: Good Jacket: No dust jacket - some marks on spine and cornersPages: Yellowed Markings: No markingsA gripping work of true crime and legal non-fiction, The D.A.'s Man chronicles the real-life exploits of Harold Danforth, a seasoned investigator who worked undercover for the New York County District Attorney's office during the mid-twentieth century. Co-written with journalist James D. Horan, the narrative uncovers the dangerous and morally complex world of organized crime, corruption, and vice that thrived beneath the surface of New York City. With the propulsive energy of a thriller and the authenticity of a firsthand account, it details Danforth's harrowing assignments infiltrating criminal networks, gambling rings, and corrupt officials who operated with near impunity. The tone is gritty and unflinching, presenting the reader with an insider's view of how justice was pursued - and sometimes compromised - in the shadows of the city's legal system. A compelling document of its era, it stands as a vivid testament to the perilous work of those who fought crime from within its ranks. Hardback.…

Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. Etat de la jaquette : Fine. 1st Edition. pp: 361. FIRST EDITION SIGNED BY BOTH AUTHORS. Pictorial dust jacket, red/black cloth covered boards. This copy has been signed and dated on the free endpaper by both authors. It is dated in the year of publication, and inscribed to a man named Al with best wishes. The authors outline some of the important cases they prosecuted. They both worked for Thomas E. Dewey in the New York District Attorney's office. Among the cases involving these men there is The New York Parental School scandal. This was a disciplinary school whose staff went fare beyond the rules, engaging in widespread physical and mental abuse, and neglect. Danforth was also involved in the payoff investigation involving Arthur Flegenheimer, better known as Dutch Schultz. And, there was the case of Fritz Kuhn, leader of the American Bund that openly espoused the ideas of Adolf Hitler. Kuhn turned out to be not much more than a racist, a forger and thief, not different than the others in Germany. This is a very good copy in a dust jacket with moderate edge wear, sunning on the spine, and a bit of soiling. The jacket is protected with a Brodart cover. Gwynedd M. Hudson (illustrateur).
