Description: He met a gutter angel on the roadway to hell! It began here for Baron — the whole grotesque skein of terror — here in this Marseilles street of despair, the street called the Rue Paradis. There was Gorssmann, fat and corrupt, who waited until Baron scraped bottom — and then blackmailed him into treason. And Lili, the dark, lovely gamin, who fell in love with Baron — and worked for the man determined to destroy him. Altogether for Frank Baron it was a small hell on the street called Paradise!
