Kill Her If You Can - Hank Janson - Bog

Chicago Chronicle's ace reporter Hank Janson is back on the case as he is sent to investigate a bomb blast at an apartment and gets caught up in a web of intrigue and deception. The apartment's owner, the headstrong, independent young woman Beryl Pinder, gives Hank more trouble than he bargained for, as he finds himself having to save her - and himself! - from a series of murder attempts. With their erotic pin-up covers and hardboiled crime tales, the Hank Janson pulp paperback novels 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. When it first appeared in March 1952, this book was the final entry in the third series of classic Hank Janson novels. It is reissued here complete with its striking original Reginald Heade cover art.
