The Name of the Game is Death / One Endless Hour

Stephen King called Marlowe “the hardest of the hard-boiled,” and these two novels are his masterpieces. Here are the two books that introduce Earl Drake, a hardened thief on a mission of vengeance. He’s been shot, burned and put away in an asylum—but they can’t keep him there. Drake is a force to be reckoned with. Barry Gifford said it “Nobody wrote tougher prose than Dan J. Marlowe. Nobody.” This volume includes an introduction by Charles Kelly, author of "Gunshots in Another The Forgotten Life of Dan J. Marlowe."
