Killer

Classic pulp crime thrillers from the 1940s and 1950s.

In their time, the Hank Janson novels, with their sleazy covers and no-holds-barred tales, were a guilty pleasure for millions of readers, but incurred the wrath of the establishment!

In Killer, Hank Janson’s chance meeting with a beautiful female hitchhiker, Cora Tanter, is just the start of a thrilling tale involving an elderly archaeologist, his rich but suicidal young wife, and a haul of valuable Roman artefacts.

This reissue from Telos Publishing, complete with Reginald Heade’s stunning original cover artwork, brings back into print, for the first time in decades, one of the books that featured heavily in the infamous Hank Janson obscenity trials of the 1950s.
