"Horns for the Devil" by Louis Malley (Jacob Rosenberg's grandson)


Winner of the 1953 Grand Prix de Littérature Policière (International)

Subsequent winners include Patricia Highsmith, Chester Himes, John D. McDonald, Josephine Tey, Elmore Leonard, Tony Hillerman, James Lee Burke, Michael Connelly, Peter Robinson, and Ian Rankin.

According to Jack Pulwers this book revealed details on true crimes, and Louis Malley spent the rest of his life living under an assumed name. Some years later, in South Florida, Louis and his girlfriend were shot to death by his girlfriend's husband.
