Synopsis "Fast Company"

A hardboiled rare book detective seeks a literate killer to clear an innocent man.

Joel Crisp knows the dark side of the rare book market. A private detective for an insurer of valuable tomes, he makes his living (and his own book allowance) hunting down pilfered volumes and exposing the dealers that traffic them. But when one of the most reviled of these unscrupulous salesmen is found bludgeoned with a bust of Dante and suspicion falls on an innocent kid, Joel finds himself investigating his first murder.

Aided by his clever wife Garda, Joel is led on a perilous tour of a bookish underworld, a place of forbidden texts, contraband, and desire; a place with secrets to die for. If he’s going to survive, he’ll need quick wit and a whole lot of literary expertise to interpret the clues and discover whodunit. 

Pseudonymously written by screenwriter, playwright, and novelist Harry Kurnitz, Fast Company is a memorable and entertaining detective novel with a unique setting, reissued for the first time this century. In 1938, the novel was adapted for the MGM film of the same name, the first of three that featured Joel and Garda investigating murders in the rare book world.
