McCoy's hardboiled noir classic, about an Ivy League graduate's criminal rampage through the seedy underground and glitzy high society of an unnamed American city
To escape prison, Ralph Cotter uses the same genius for planning and penchant for cold-hearted violence that helped earn him a spot in the slammer in the first place. On the lam in a city where he knows nobody, Cotter has nothing to lose, no conscience to hold him back, and no limit to his twisted ambition. But in the midst of a criminal spree, a grift leads him to the boudoir of wealthy heiress Margaret Dobson, a woman with the power to peel back the rotten layers of his psyche and reveal the damaged soul beneath.
Vicious and thrilling, Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye is a look at one man's relentless attack on American society, conjuring one of the most memorable antiheros of twentieth-century noir fiction.
This ebook features an extended biography of Horace McCoy.
