 Embark on a journey into the thrilling past of Don Everhard, a cunning professional gambler and conman, whose quick wit and faster draw laid the foundations for the hard-boiled noir fiction we know today. Before Dashiell Hammett introduced us to Continental Op, and before Carroll John Daly created Race Williams, there was Don Everhard, a master of deception and survival. Join me, Ben Tucker, as we delve into Dons early exploits through three gripping short stories, and witness the evolution of a character that has been recognized by critics and historians as a precursor to the no-nonsense protagonists of modern crime fiction.Copyright Nighttime Radio Art Literary History & Criticism Social Sciences
