Title: Here Comes a Candle
Description: *Here Comes a Candle* is Fredric Brown at his most audacious in a novel that was far ahead of its time. It is the story of Joe Bailey, whose young life is at a crossroads. Not only is he involved with a tough Milwaukee racketeer and two completely different women, but he is haunted by childhood trauma. Psychologically complex and told in an array of stylistic variations, it is a *tour de force* with a savagely ironic ending not to be soon forgotten.
