The Easiest Way

'The Easiest Way' is a novel written by Arthur Hornblow and Eugene Walter. The story begins with two young men entering a busy all-night café in New York, located near Broadway and 42nd street, after a late night out at the theater. The café is filled with a mix of wealthy men, gamblers, young people, actors, and prostitutes. The place is noisy with the sounds of chatter, dishes, and music. The people in the café are typical of those found in Broadway's pleasure spots.
