It has been 54 years since Dodge's most famous book,To Catch a Thief,hit the shelves and was shortly thereafter made into the classic Hitchcock film.In reading his latest,written just before his death in 1974 and never before published,it's easy to see why his writing translated so well to Hollywood noir,with its tight-lipped narration,a tough easy rider in the lead and vivid descriptions of both glittering locales and gamine ladies.
