The Savage Streets by Floyd Miller is a 1956 hardboiled noir novel. It originally debuted as a paperback original through Popular Library (#746) and was featured in Mercury Mystery Book-Magazine

The book belongs to the hardboiled crime fiction, noir mystery, and mid-century pulp genres. It features classic Good Girl Art (GGA) on its vintage cover and leans heavily into the dark, gritty atmospheric style of 1950s urban crime fiction

Set against the grim and dangerous backdrop of the New York City waterfront, the book explores the gritty criminal underworld controlled by dockworkers, corrupt unions, and local thugs. The plot follows a hard-edged protagonist navigating a web of betrayal, violence, and institutional corruption on the docks. Like many noir pulps of its era, it focuses on working-class desperation, mob influence over the shipping industry, and the moral compromises individuals make to survive on the city's most dangerous streets.
