Books Update: Hi-Jacker’s Lady by Ben Sarto
*Crime, Spies & Sleaze: Ben Sarto was one of the most famous/infamous names of post-war UK ‘gangster digest’ pulp crime; all his stuff is long out of print and notoriously difficult to get hold of. Despite claiming that millions of these were sold, very few seem to have survived. Here we have a nice example: published by Modern Fiction, Hi-Jacker’s Lady, a crime thriller set in the days of US Prohibition laws, full of gangsters, molls and the like. Sporting a nice cover by H W Perl, this is a decent, unmarked GD/VG copy with some spine and edge wear but intact and solid. Definitely one for the collector/enthusiast of this genre at £35.
