Farr John and Louis Trimble (2 results)

Paperback. Condition: Fair. First Edition. Ace Double D?235 (1957), pairing The Lady and the Snake by John Farr (a pseudonym of John Alfred "Jack" Webb) and Nothing to Lose But My Life by Louis Trimble. SIDE 1 (149 pg): John Farr delivers a taut mid?century crime novel built around deception, seduction, and the dangerous games people play when money and desire collide. The story centers on a woman whose charm masks a lethal agenda, drawing the protagonist into a tightening spiral of manipulation and violence. As the stakes rise, the "snake" in the title becomes both metaphor and warning: trust the wrong person, and you won't see the strike coming. SIDE 2 (169 pg): Louis Trimble's half of the double leans into hardboiled suspense: a man on the run, framed or cornered, with nothing left except the instinct to survive. Trimble often wrote about ordinary men pushed into extraordinary danger, and this novel follows that pattern — a protagonist forced to fight back against criminals who have already decided his fate. With his life on the line, he gambles everything to expose the truth before time runs out. THIS book has some serious condition issues, but is quite readable. Paperback edition. 149 / 169 pages.
