Скачать или смотреть THE DARKEST HOUR, by William P. McGivern

William P. McGivern (1918–1982) was an American crime and science fiction writer known for his hardboiled detective novels and fast-paced thrillers. Born in Chicago, he began his career as a journalist before turning to fiction, producing works that often explored corruption, morality, and justice. Many of his crime novels, including The Big Heat (1953) and Rogue Cop (1954), were adapted into successful films. In addition to writing novels, McGivern wrote science fiction stories for pulp magazines in the 1940s and 1950s. Later in his career, he transitioned to television writing, contributing to popular series such as Kojak and Adam-12. His earlier works tend toward the hardboiled genre; THE DARKEST HOUR fits in that category, and I must say it is excellent. I loved it. (—Steven Rigolosi, March 12, 2025)
