I recall reading it while in high school and seeing the movie as well, which I remember as being particularly well done (for the time) with Dean Stockwell as one of the killers and Spencer Tracy as the Darrow-like defense attorney.<br /><br />For anyone interested in more crime fiction, I've reviewed Ross Macdonald's FIND A VICTIM today at my blog.

Of course it was made into a movie, with Dean Stockwell and Bradford Dillman as Steiner and Strauss respectively and Orson Welles getting top billing as Wilk.<br /><br />It's true. Over thirty years ago I had a paperback of THE EXPENDABLE MAN that gave away the twist on the back cover.<br /><br />Jeff M.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-16680153712411856832012-11-09T09:37:22.059-05:002012-11-09T09:37:22.059-05:00I've only read a couple of books by Hughes (th...I've only read a couple of books by Hughes (the obvious ones I suppose, RIDE THE PINK HORSE and IN A LONELY PLACE) - never heard of this one Patti - sounds interesting despite the conservative parts of the agenda. thanks.Sergio (Tipping My Fedora)http://bloodymurder.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-43322513703703810372012-11-09T09:34:47.680-05:002012-11-09T09:34:47.680-05:00Both of these sound pretty interesting.
