*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 and Sleaze Category for authors alphabetically from Henry Kane to Helen MacInnes. A real mixed bag here, from hard-boiled US detectives (Murdered Madame and Ben Gates Is Hot), a thriller set in post-war Berlin (My Name Is Celia), a sleazy mystery (Gin Wedding), to psychological thrillers (Hold Back the Night and Above Suspicion) and an exposure of the white slave traffic (The Road To Buenos Ayres). Wholesome stuff for everyone!
