275 pages. Octavo (8 1/2" x 5 1/2") bound in original publisher's quarter red cloth with gilt lettering to spine in original pictorial jacket. First edition. A Chicago police detective, perilously close to breakdown himself, must track down a crazed newspaper reporter who's taken to executing Mafiosi without a warrant. Police Lieutenant James Dela doesn't get much rest. A compulsive worker who sticks his nose into everything, Dela is also a compulsive walker who pounds out the miles on Chicago sidewalks, patrolling the city instead of sleeping. But Dela's just a harmless neurotic compared to fellow Chicagoan Vince Benedetto. When Benedetto was a lad, his pre-vatican II grandma, a religious maniac whose likes we are unlikely to see again, used to lock him in closets until he would confess to his basic corruption. As a result, he's rather badly scarred. Unable to be a normal husband, let alone a modern helpmate to his long-suffering wife, unsuitable as a father to his devoted son, unable to break out of…
