The officer laughs him off; everyone knows that Tiny Tim has heard footsteps behind him for years. But a few minutes later, Tim is spotted in a pool of blood, dead at the bottom of the subway steps. After years of running, the imagined footsteps have caught up to him at last.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis brisk tale of deception and murder is but one of the stories in this collection from Hugh B. Cave, a master of pulp fiction whose career spanned seventy-five years. Along with Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler, Cave was one of the defining authors of  \u003ci\u003eBlack Mask \u003c\/i\u003e magazine, and these stories are perfect examples of what set that pulp apart. Hard-boiled, fast-paced, and witty, the tales of  \u003ci\u003eLong Live the Dead \u003c\/i\u003e are just as captivating now as they were on the newsstand many decades ago.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mysteriouspress.Com\/Open Road","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47054795407600,"sku":"9781480462359","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781480462359_p0.jpg?v=1763619631","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781480462359","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
