Peter Rabe created the archetypical gangster in Daniel Port and wrote about him in six different thrillers. These first three books introduce us to Port and his criminal world. Here is Port the mastermind, trying to get out of the racket he helped create, and Port the savior, defending an old criminal against a younger, meaner hood.
(These are excellent books from one of the best Gold Medal writers, and they're also important in the influence they had on other "man leaving the Mob" series. I haven't read all of them, so I'm grateful that Stark House is bringing back the whole series, along with great introductions by Rick Ollerman. This first volume will be out later this month, but you can pre-order it directly from Stark House.)
