The Jane With Green Eyes

More about the book

Hank Janson's latest Chicago Chronicle assignment sees him visiting a small town in the deep South, where he meets the beautiful green-eyed blonde Virginia Leighton ... and falls foul of an angry mob of locals inflamed by vile racial hatred. On his return to Chicago, this horrifying incident leads him to reconnect with an old friend, stunning nightclub owner Cora Reid, who has a puzzling aversion to physical intimacy. Soon he finds himself caught up in a web of blackmail and murder - and, once again, he is up to his neck in woman trouble! 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 Jane With Green Eyes is reissued by Telos Publishing complete with the sensational Reginald Heade cover artwork that graced its original July 1950 edition. WARNING: THIS BOOK CONTAINS LANGUAGE AND ATTITUDES WHICH MIGHT OFFEND A MODERN READER.
