Story3
This is the 1927 book that years later inspired the movie of the same name. It is a book about criminal violence, corrupt politics and police, and illicit sex. The City of New York, from the late colonial period up to the early twentieth century, was a bustling hub of commerce, industry, and immigration. For many the city was the gateway to a new life in America, and for many others it was a place to steal a buck from their fellow New Yorkers and visitors to the city with thievery, fraud, and vice—in neighborhoods such as the Five Points, the Bowery, Hells Kitchen, and the Water Front.

What was it about him that had struck Maigret so forcefully? Little John had cold eyes! Four or five times in his life, he had met people with cold eyes, those eyes that can stare at you without establishing any human contact. Persuaded to sail to New York by a fearful young law student, Maigret finds himself drawn into the city's underworld and a wealthy businessman's closely guarded past.

In this series we listen to short stories that are NOT by perhaps the most well-known author of this type. But the many other rich talents in the volume may have treated the subject matter a little differently, or were perhaps just overlooked in the stampede to applaud the winner, but these authors are of equal merit.

He woke up that morning with a price on his head. Those Lincoln Continental Jersey boys wanted to see him dead. Out of options, out of hope, his only chance was to run. He ran from the mob, he ran from the FBI, and he ran away from the only woman he had ever loved. In the shadows of the collapsing World Trade Center towers, Charles ran for his life, not stopping until he found refuge on the Big Sky Ranch in Montana's Flathead Valley. There he would be safe, hidden, but he knew he couldn't leave his wife behind.
