*Crime, Spies & Sleaze:  John Pollack is a name frequently seen on 1940s/1950s British gangster pulp fiction digests, although most of these are particularly hard to come by these days; he was a local artist (like the more (in)famous Reginald Heade) and lived in Clapham, South West London. Pollack’s women were gorgeous and glamorous and his men were chiselled tough guys. For the second part of our Pollack retrospective, five more hardboiled crime thrillers have joined our shelves. Two are from Michael Storme, Make Mine A Corpse and Make Mine A Harlot. The rest are from a pair of previously unlisted authors, Gene Ross (Lady Throw Me A Curve and Two Smart Dames), and Timothy Trenton (the extremely rare Death For A Tough Guy). These are hard to find volumes much prized by collectors of this sought after sub-genre.
