The Bait and the Trap

Superstar pulpsmith Max Brand was best known for his Westerns, but his historical adventures rank among the best stories he ever wrote. These seven stories of 16th Century Italian Renaissance swashbuckling swordsman Tizzo are tightly-plotted, action-packed adventures which were rarely equaled in quality by Brand's contemporaries. Volume 2 collects the final four stories: "The Cat and the Perfume," "Claws of the Tigress," "The Bait and the Trap," and "The Pearls of the Bonfadini." Includes an introduction by Brand scholar William F. Nolan (Logan's Run).
