“Just as our frontier west endured an age of violence and bloodshed during its expansion , just as Ghana today is enduring it , so too with Cananl Street .”

Summary : This story revolves around Canal Street in Buffalo and the wild men and women that made it . Men such as Mike Gannon and his rival Black John Bennett and their trade war . Women such as Mara Creegam and The Egyptian as they run their brothel empire till they have a falling out that somewhat involves the two men involved earlier . All this leading to a dramatic battle for the very soul of Canal Street !

“A fighting itch grew inside him- he wanted to feel flesh bruising under his fists.”

Review : It’s a short and sweet piece of historical fiction filled with drama , action , and sex . I won’t pretend that the book is a must read but I liked it . Quick and fun . A fun fact fot you , Gardner Fox wrote over 4000 comics .

“I don’t use the entertainers rooms , captain . By that I mean I don’t sell myself to – ordinary customers . Man wants me , he has to come right out and tell me so .”
