Expectant Nymph

by Hank Janson

Why should a world famous stripper suddenly want to avoid being seen?

When Hank Jason is given a routine assignment to interview a retired gangster, he doesn't expect to be de-panted by a mysterious young woman. And neither does he expect to go swimming in the raw with a beautiful international stripper who has been seen au naturel by an estimated 10 million men. But it's all in a day's and night's work to the Chicago Chronicle's ace reporter.

Hell's Angels by Hank Janson

Her life was a paradise of sex and drugs, but she lied one hell of a death

Cover by Robert Maguire

There's really nothing wrong with carrying a lady's suitcase, except when the "lady" is playing one for a sucker and the suitcase is loaded with sweet dreams for ten thousand junkies. But that's exactly what happens when Hank Janson's very chivalrous instincts backfire and a couple of casual dates explode into a deadly international affair.

Crimebeat Crisis by Hank Janson

Crimebeat Crisis

Press Conference

In this line a guy has to keep his eyes and ears wide open and his feet on the ground. Else when a break comes along or maybe a cute honey drifts into the sights he's there with his pants down. You can quote him that his proven recipe for getting himself a big load of trouble is to settle down with a good bottle to figure out the works of a good story. Within seconds its a matter of life and death on the blower, or a damsel in distress on the door step.

Crime On My Hands by Hank Janson

England's Best Selling Author

Follow The Man!

One don't need a bloodhound to tell you that when you're on to a good thing you stick to it. 

What's the infallible recipe?

Experience, mainly. Before becoming a full time writer. Hank Janson packed a lifetime of adventure, romance, and thrills into the few years it took him to hit the top as a Chicago Crime Correspondent. A man with talent and a store house of experience like that never lacks the right kind of authentic inspiration.

Some Look Better Dead by Hank Janson

A seemingly innocuous visit to a fashion show leads Chicago Chronicle's ace reporter Hank Janson into a web of  murder and intrigue with dark secrets from the past. Uncovering a disturbing scenario of sexual obsession and violence, he starts to realize that this one assignment to which there can be no easy answers, and no happy ending.

The Hank Janson pulp paperback novels were a British publishing sensation in the 1940s and 1950s. Selling millions of copies. With the erotic pun up covers and hardboiled crime tales, readers craved the escapism from the post war austerity.
