4.0

A cold hard gangster story, with some good dialogues. Almost everybody in the story dies, while the detective cleanses the town of gangsters and corrupt police departement. 
Apparently this story was first released in 1929! I hardly noticed, believed it to be a 70's crime before I started reading.
