Description: Texas by the Tail by Jim Thompson Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Originally published in paperback by Fawcett Gold Medal Books, February 1965. Publisher Description To everyone hes every played dice with, Mitch Corley seems like the luckiest guy around. But in truth, Corleys fast hands are the only gift fates ever given him. Hes never held down a steady job, and when it comes to women, his luck might just be the worst of all -- his girlfriend and partner-in-crime Red would double-cross him in a heartbeat if she knew just how short on cash they really were. And if Red ever finds out about the wife Corley neglected to mention, theres a good chance that Corley might not survive the night. At first, Mitch was sure Texas would be the perfect place for him and Red to run their game -- there are players in nearly every back room and side-street across the state and here, the pockets run just a little deeper. But Corley forgot about one thing: Texans dont forgive easily. And theres nothing they hate more than a cheater. Author Biography Jim Thompson was born in Anadarko, Oklahoma. He began writing fiction at a very young age, selling his first story to True Detective when he was only fourteen. Thompson eventually wrote twenty-nine novels, all but three of which were published as paperback originals. Thompson also co-wrote two screenplays (for the Stanley Kubrick films The Killing and Paths of Glory). Several of his novels have been filmed by American and French directors, resulting in classic noir including The Killer Inside Me (1952), After Dark My Sweet (1955), and The Grifters (1963).
