Police Inspector Buck Safiotte is corrupt and cruel, ruthless and remorseless, ambitious and outrageous, ruling the streets of New York City like a monarch of the gutter. One early reader of Bodies Are Dust fretted that the book was too vicious for the library, but this almost-forgotten, impossible-to-find novel has become a classic, and noir fans consider their copies precious. Now, after more than 60 years out of print, Bodies Are Dust is available again, the first title from Staccato Crime, a new imprint of Stark House Press, which will resurrect noir classics, both novels and true crime, originally published 1899-1939.
