BY ED LACY: Room to Swing (Annotated): The Pulp Noir Classic.    #CommissionEarned

Black private eye Toussaint Moore knew a murder frame-up when he saw one, especially when it was hung neatly around his neck. Instead of dawdling around New York waiting for the NYPD to arrest him for a murder he didn’t commit, he followed the one lead he had: the victim’s hometown in Ohio. Only a stone’s throw north of Jim Crow Kentucky. If he can’t find who wanted that white man dead, and quick, all he’s going to have left is room to swing!

Winner of the 1958 Edgar Award for Best Mystery Novel by the Mystery Writers of America.
