Keeping up with the too rich wife he loves, Carol, becomes an almost impossible problem to handle for Joe Baron, homicide detective, so that the million dollars in bills and heroin in the safe of a N.Y. doctor Pantell is a temptation which turns an honest cop crooked. It also leads to the fatal gut wound of his partner, Pete, an agonizing vigil, a brutal aftermath.... A rough hand here, but never heavy, this may well pin you to the page and reduce you to the pulp it was printed on. Quite a jolt.
