"Compliments of a Fiend" by Fredric Brown. Bantam 876 (March 1951). First Printing. Cover Art by Robert Skemp

HE STALKED A NAMELESS MENACE IN THE CHICAGO SLUMS

 

From the Introduction:

 

HUNTER ON THE PROWL . . .

 

Following a trail that twisted out from a shabby boarding house into the teeming, neon-splashed streets of the Chicago north side.

 

Ed Hunter was looking for a man – a man who had disappeared without reason into the wilderness of smoky rooms and plush-lined deadfalls where Augie Grane ruled the numbers racket.

 

Then a harmless little guy who sold insurance was killed and the whole vicious scheme began to crack. Ed Hunter kept moving in . . . watching . . . knowing he would find his man – and maybe death too!
