Alive, she was worth a fortune . . . dead, she was a racketeer’s life insurance!
Mona Ambler sat in the death house with a secret that not even a decent guy like Mike Duval could extract. Just home from Korea, Mike had to go about saving the gal the hard way. Maybe she really had shot and killed a jewelry salesman, maybe she had been the no-good thieving B-girl the papers had reported, but just the same she had also been the beloved wife of Mike’s only brother.
The odds were a hundred-to-one that Mona would go to the chair without talking. But Mike Duval was willing to gamble against these odds. The thing he didn’t realize was that the boss of the city rackets was betting against him with every gunman, chiseler, and grafter on his side. Because Mona knew something that could blast the city wide open!

Day KeeneDay Keene was the pseudonym of Gunard Hjerstedt. There's a story that he once flipped a coin to decide between acting and writing. He made the right choice. He was a prolific writer who wrote many dark crime novels. This one begins with the narrator (Technical Sergeant Michael Duval) on leave from his fourth tour of duty. His younger brother (Johnny) found a bullet with his name on it in Korea and, before dying, asked our narrator to take care of his wife and kid. Turns out Mona's on death row and there probably never was a kid. She was young looking "but there was nothing immature about the way she filled out the bodice of her gray prison dress." She was a tramp, a scam artist, a heartbreaker. She's on the row because she took a jeweler up to her apartment and killed him for the diamonds, diamonds worth a quarter of a million dollars. Only Mike Duval doesnt believe this girl did it and a certain homicide detective has doubts too. the whole city, including both the mob and the law, is after Duval and he has to try and stay one step ahead or fail his brother. This is truly a flawless work. It runs like a freight train forward and there is nothing but excitement and energy here. Keene couldn't have done a better job if he tried. Top recommendation.

Death House Doll Prologue Crime edition by Day Keene Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews
This book was just alright for me.
This story moved along quickly and draws you right in. Excellent crime fiction from a master of the hardboiled pulp era. Lots of violence, sexy dames, doubelcrosses and action. The language and writing is a wonderful thing to behold for those who have a penchant for classic-era crime. Lean prose takes you headlong into the rough-and-tumble ending of the story with nary a slow moment I can recall. Good stuff, and highly recommended for fans of 1940s-1950s hardboiled crime.
Day Keene, one of the more prolific pulp writers from the golden age of that genre, had it all together when he wrote DEATH HOUSE DOLL. Yes, the phrase is actually used a time or two in the book, but the story keeps your eye squarely on the page. A returning Korean War vet has vowed to take care of his dead brother's young son. Problem is, the grieving widow currently resides on death row, awaiting execution for killing a jewelry salesman. The son is nowhere to be found. Well-plotted story takes you where you don't think it's going.
Prologue Books deserves many kudos for resurrecting a boatload of these pulp titles by till-now forgotten writers. One can only hope this series will meet with wild success.
