Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye by Horace Mccoy

Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye by Horace Mccoy

Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye is a kind of success story. A Phi Beta Kappa scholar succeds in turning himself into a vicious and completely immoral criminal - a man whose contempt for law, order, and human life drives him relentlessly into a career of unrelieved evil. He escapes from a chain gang to join a pack of gangsters and a millionaire?s daughter falls in love with him, but eventually his past overtakes him. Kiss Tomorrrow Goodbye is McCoy?s most ambitious work and the basis for one of the great gangster movies, starring James Cagney.
