This is "noir" mystery at it's best. Possibly his first book published. While reading it, I heard the announcers voice and imagined the book as a black and white movie. Perfect!
Classic grifters yarn
Routine. Gigolo with apparent underworld background meets (SURPRISE!) young, hot, bored wife of gangster. They plot his demise. Read James M. Cain instead. TPB
