Books Update: Six Of The Best: Crime, With A Big Side Of Sleaze
*Crime, Spies & Sleaze: This week’s selection of American paperbacks in this category all feature good or bad girl art covers and hover between crime and sleaze for their themes. House Dick features a hotel murder (cover by Robert McGinnis); A Season For Violence is about rape, extortion and murder (cover by Ron Lesser); Fair Prey has a protagonist who murders women (cover by Oliver Brabbins); 21 Sunset Drive centres on a Syndicate gambling casino and the dormant violence in suburbia (cover by Tom Miller); Nikki Revisited is the story of a girl with an uninhibited life (cover by Tom Miller) and Love Is For Everybody features a woman tangled up with the Syndicate and a resort catering for sexual perverts. All good wholesome stuff…ahem… More details, including condition notes, as always in our catalogue.
