THE DARK CORNER Kathleen Conley is the perfect secretary. And she knows a tail when she sees one. The guy in the white suit has been following her detective boss, Bradford Galt, all evening. So Galt braces the guy and takes him to his office for a little talk, and has Kathleen follow him after he leaves. Turns out the man in the white suit is working for Jardine, his ex-partner, the man who set him up a few years back to take a homicide rap—the very man he’d love to get his hands on. But with Kathleen to back him up, Galt discovers there is more here than a crooked ex-partner. This time someone is setting him up for a murder rap! SLEEP, MY LOVE Alison Cordeley wakes up in a train headed for Boston. But she has no idea where she is, or how she got here. She lives in New York City. A kindly old lady who had seen her get on the train tries to help. But it’s a shattering experience. How did she end up on a train to Boston without any memory of being at the train station? When she returns, her husband, Dick, is terribly concerned. Alison has been sleepwalking, but nothing like this. He hires a psychiatrist named Dr. Rinehart, but he only frightens Alison out of her wits. Is she losing her mind? A man she meets on the train, Bruce Elcott, thinks otherwise, but are suspicions enough to save Alison from herself? “New York City private detective Bradford Galt can’t seem to catch a break in the almost-classic noir The Dark Corner. After being framed by his partner, he’s sent to prison. Sprung after two years, it soon becomes obvious he was set up. But all he wants to do is start over. Unfortunately, now someone else seems to be fitting him for a whole new frame, trying to jam him into that “dark corner” all over again… A dark little gem, with enough twists and turns to keep things hopping.” --The New Thrilling Detective Website "… a tough-fibered, exciting entertainment revolving around a private detective who is marked as the fall guy in a cleverly contrived murder plot…The action, and there is plenty of it, is violent and explosive." --Bosley Crowther, New York Times “… plenty of superb writing and acting woven skillfully through the film noir tropes.” --Tales of the Easily Distracted Leo Calvin Rosten was born April 11, 1908 in Łódź, Poland into a Yiddish-speaking family who emigrated to the United States in 1911. Showing an early interest in books and language, he began writing stories at nine. During the Depression, he taught English to recent immigrants, using this source to write his most popular novels, The Education of Hyman Kaplan and The Return of Hyman Kaplan. Rosten obtained a doctorate in political science from the University of Chicago, then went on to write stories and film screenplays as Leonard Q. Ross, including All Through the Night, The Dark Corner and Sleep, My Love. He is most noted, however, as an American humorist. Rosten died February 19, 1997, in New York City.
