Considered by his peers as amongst the top tier of \u003cem\u003eBlack Mask\u003c\/em\u003e writers alongside Raymond Chandler, Torrey was on top of his game in the mid-1930s. As fellow \u003cem\u003eBlack Mask\u003c\/em\u003e scribe Steve Fisher remarked, [Torrey was] \"probably one of the finest writers \u003cem\u003eBlack Mask\u003c\/em\u003e ever had.\" However, Torrey made a brief foray to \u003cem\u003eBlack Mask's\u003c\/em\u003e chief rival, \u003cem\u003eDime Detective, \u003c\/em\u003e to pen the tales of Los Angeles private eye Johnny Cass, written in Torrey's classic gritty, hard-bitten style. Only running five stories, this edition collects the entire series, along with the one other story Torrey wrote for \u003cem\u003eDime Detective\u003c\/em\u003e in this same period, \"Curtains for Five.\" Rounded out by an authoritative introduction by pulp historian Will Murray, \u003cem\u003eThe Complete Cases of Johnny Cass\u003c\/em\u003e is the most important hard-boiled detective story to see print in years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 214\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.49 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 30, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52527668658483,"sku":"9781618276889","price":42.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/aGtaT1ZOT3NkWG00SUptQ3Jya0NpQT09.webp?v=1760655441","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/the-complete-cases-of-johnny-cass-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
