Plot Summary of After Dark, My Sweet

"AFTER DARK, MY SWEET is a novel written by Jim Thompson in 1955.

On his way south, he meets Fay, an alcoholic widow, and the no good Uncle Bud who proposed he take part in the kidnapping of the little Charles Vandermeer.

Another masterpiece of Jim Thompson. Ultra noir."
