*Crime, Spies & Sleaze: We’re continuing to introduce the new layout for our books categories, with an image for each book. This week, we return to our Crime, Spies & Sleaze category for a miscellany of authors whose names begin with ‘G’. We start with Hugh Greene, who edits More Rivals of Sherlock Holmes, an anthology of Edwardian tales of cosmopolitan crime. Then, from Netta Grey, a rare 32 page ‘booklet’, Romance In Algiers, from the late 40s; danger, adventure, love and death in the Kasbah with
cover art by Oliver Brabbins. Then a gangster pulp from the infamous Griff, City Of Lost Women, a dark tale of the ‘snatch racket’. Finally, a new addition for this update, Arnold E Grisman’s Early To Rise, a young man on the make in sleazy New York, with a cover by the great Robert Maguire.
