Persuaded to take a supposedly restful Florida vacation from his job as the Chicago Chronicle's ace crime reporter, Hank Janson finds his frustration mounting as he encounters a succession of passion-hungry women who are all, for one reason or another, off-limits to him. How will he cope when he ends up marooned on a small island with a beautiful - and stark naked - young drug addict he has pledged to watch over while she goes 'cold turkey', and who is prepared to do absolutely anything to win her freedom? With their erotic pin-up covers and hardboiled crime tales, the Hank Janson pulp paperbacks were a British publishing sensation in the 1940s and 1950s, selling millions of copies to readers craving escapism from post-war austerity. Prosecutions under Britain's then-harsh obscenity laws dealt them a severe blow, however, and today they are highly sought-after by collectors. Milady Took the Rap is reissued by Telos Publishing complete for the first time with the sensational Reginald Heade cover artwork that was intended for its original September 1951 edition but was dropped prior to publication in an act of self-censorship.

This Woman is Death

When a successful but brutish playwright is stabbed to death in the aftermath of a wild party, there is no shortage of suspects - but which is the killer? In his latest assignment, Chicago Chronicle crime reporter Hank Janson finds himself participating in a striptease party game, being roughed up by the police investigators and dodging the attentions of a determined nymphomaniac, while he desperately tries to separate the clues from the red herrings.       With their erotic pin-up covers and hardboiled crime tales, the Hank Janson pulp paperbacks were a British publishing sensation in the 1940s and 1950s, selling millions of copies to readers craving escapism from post-war austerity. Prosecutions under Britain's then-harsh obscenity laws dealt them a severe blow, however, and today they are highly sought after by collectors.       The Lady Has a Scar, originally published in 1950, is one of the most risqué of these classic novels. It is reissued by Telos Publishing complete with its original cover by celebrated artist Reginald Heade.

The Lady Has A Scar

Blonde on the Spot, the seventh Hank Janson novel, picks up directly where Lilies for My Lovely, the sixth, left off. But all is not well in Hank’s relationship with Sally Taylor, and when he winds up in a replica Wild West ghost town, where gambling, drugs and prostitution are rife, things go from bad to worse. Then there’s the nearby Indian reservation, with its disgruntled and exploited native American population ...  This incident-packed novel, first published in June 1949, is reissued by Telos complete with its original Reginald Heade cover.

Blonde on the Spot (Hank Janson Crime)

Hard-as-nails gangster 'Big Nick' Fenner and his associate Joey have known each other since childhood, when Fenner stood by as Joey was injured by a gunshot that left him mentally impaired. Their lives since then have been closely intertwined - but will they also end up following each other to the grave? This grim, violent entry from the third series of classic Hank Janson novels comes complete with its stunning original Reginald Heade artwork cover, which was censored on the book’s first publication in November 1951.
