Once in a while on Vernon Street, that blind alley of tired sin and lost hopes, someone reaches for the moon.

Like Kerrigan, the stevedore, the old-young man with the strength of three and the secret dreams of a life away from the hell of Vernon Street.

He met Loretta Channing, the slummer, the girl who drove an MG down Kerrigan's street. They fell in love and they would have been all right, except for Vernon Street.

It stood between them, this crooked length of scarred, cracked asphalt — an abyss that held them worlds apart.

When racketeer Jimmie Renzelli was found bumped off in an alley, the murder wasn’t as simple to solve as it looked!

Nothing.

That’s what his life was. No job. No money. No girl. He grubbed handouts, shot pool, and swilled cheap whiskey. The days stretched out, gray and unending, filled with the ache of desires dammed up.

And then he met her. She came to him out of the bitter cold and rot of the narrow streets, rich and warm and willing. And suddenly there she was in his arms, a no-good tramp who tore his life apart and gave him—

EVERYTHING.
