London: Robert Hale, [1985]. Octavo, boards. First hardcover edition. Noir mystery novel first published as a paperback original in 1953. An escaped convict plans a armored car heist in Denver. In a new review referencing the original Gold Medal publication: "...literary quality wasn’t the main criterion for publication, but on the evidence of Black Wings Has My Angel, a flawless 1953 heist novel by Elliott Chaze..., it wasn’t disqualifying either. On a technical level, it is possible to write a perfect crime novel. You might say Black Wings Has My Angel is beyond perfection." - Review by Christian Lorentzen, Vulture, January 13, 2016.
