The Peddler

Here are the cultured cannibals...not in the jungles of middle Africa, but in the wild clatter of the world's great cities - where nothing is so alien as decent society, where the bewitched righteous meet the pious barbarians, and where men gobble up one another with their terrible dark secrets.

This is the lust and life-blood of a great city.

Not since James T. Farrell tore apart the frightening labyrinth known as Chicago has an American novelist put his finger so exactly on the pulse of an American city. Douglas Ring knows San Francisco inside out - its dishonor, its nobility, the whole scheme of its greatness.

THE PEDDLER is an adventure in civilization.
