Description - Black Wings Has My Angel by Elliott Chaze

This 1953 novel was praised by NPR as an "underappreciated hard-boiled masterpiece" and "a trip worth taking for anybody with a taste for the darker side of crime fiction." Narrated by a death-row killer, this unjustly obscure noir classic recounts the ultimate heist, undertaken by an escaped convict and a cheap prostitute with many talents, including driving getaway cars. "Flawless ... beyond perfection." - New York magazine. AUTHOR: After serving as a paratrooper in Japan during World War II, Elliott Chaze (1915–1990) settled in Mississippi, where he worked for 20 years as an award-winning reporter and editor at the Hattiesburg American. His nine novels include The Stainless Steel Kimono, which he based on his wartime experiences, Goodbye Goliath, and Wettermark.
