About this book
A running engine outside a branch bank gives two detectives their first warning that Thought-and-a-half Morgan may be nearby. By the time they reach the lobby, the bank robber has turned their investigation into a public embarrassment. Hal Moore tells the story through Jake, the local officer assigned to accompany the visiting Detective Halloran, whose confidence is tested by an opponent skilled at disguise and quick decisions.
The action moves from an armed hold-up to a car chase through suburban traffic, then to a search guided by a telephone number and a hotel room. Jake's slangy account makes room for irritated exchanges between the officers, even while they face real danger. This short crime story offers a brisk example of magazine fiction built around competing wits, professional pride and the uneasy gap between knowing a suspect's reputation and keeping pace with him.
