This hardcover copy of Joseph Harrington’s “Last Doorbell” offers a glimpse into the gritty world of 1960s Los Angeles. Published in 1962, the novel follows the exploits of private investigator John Taft as he navigates the seedy underbelly of the City of Angels. Harrington’s vivid prose and keen eye for detail transport readers to a bygone era, capturing the smoky jazz clubs, neon-lit streets, and the palpable tension of a city on the brink of social upheaval.

While the dust jacket bears the marks of time, the hardcover itself remains in good condition, a testament to the enduring appeal of this noir classic. The coffee-stained pages only add to the book’s character, hinting at the late nights and absorbed readings of past owners. For collectors and readers alike, this copy represents a rare opportunity to immerse themselves in a pivotal work of mid-20th century crime fiction, a genre that continues to captivate and inspire generations of writers and aficionados.
