City Of Fear

What happens to those nuts who think they've stolen something valuable, and find out it's a container filled with radioactive material? CITY OF FEAR attempts an answer as escaped convict Edwards does just that, thinking the container is filled with heroin. The story settles down into a chase as the authorities try to catch him before he exposes the public to radiation. During the chase, Edwards gets sicker and sicker from the leaking container, and finally the question is answered--quite possibly, they die, as Edwards does.
