About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of The Early Adventures of Don Everhard by Gordon Young. Read in English by Ben Tucker Before Dashiell Hammett's Continental Op and before Carroll John Daly's Race Williams, there was Don Everhard, hard-boiled professional gambler and conman, as quick on the draw as he is with palming an ace. In recent years, several critics and historians of crime fiction have begun to acknowledge Young's no-nonsense character as an early forbearer of the hard-boiled noir fiction that we have come to know and love. Join me as we explore the early years of Don Everhard with three short stories featuring the notorious jack-of-all-trades. - Summary by Ben Tucker
