Free (nook/Kindle) Don't Cry For Me by William Campbell Gault [Vintage Pulp Mystery]

Don't Cry For Me by William Campbell Gault is a vintage pulp mystery/crime thriller originally released by Boardman in 1952 and reprinted as part of publisher Adams Media's new Prologue Books imprint, which looks to e-book-only seriously old-school pulp tales of mystery, adventure, and sci-fi at an affordable price, according to the Publishers Weekly article.

The blurb on the cover says that this won an Edgar Award for Best First Novel back in the day.

Currently free @ B&N and Amazon UK, likely to drop in the main store.

Description
He was a heel . . . a blue-blood gone bad, a low-brow with class, a bum with an income. He liked low-slung cars and top-heavy girls, and he took his pleasure where he found it.

He was the consort of bookies, dope-peddlers, crooks; the buddy of has-beens, tough guys, and junkies. He dreamed the big dream, but played it small . . . free wheeling it down hill all the way, with a crack-up—and murder—at the bottom.

Too many slow horses, too many fast women, and finally, one loaded cigarette; and after that . . . trouble: a woman who wouldn’t stay, a dead man’s face that wouldn’t go away, and an alibi that wouldn’t stick . . .
