[N. Y. : Ballantine Books, 1958. No. 288. Cover features a a tough guy in foreground smoking a cigarette with figure of slumped woman behind him. The rather sfumato-esque shading of the undefined light source bathes the two figures in an eerie glow. "Completely convincing and gripping melodrama of drug smuggling that borrows from news columns." - Drexel Drake, Chicago Tribune, June 8, 1958, p. I9.]
