Sister, Don't Hate Me

By Hank Janson

In his earliest recorded exploit after becoming a Chicago Chronicle reporter, Hank Janson follows up an anonymous crime-scene tip-off, only to find himself embroiled in a murder investigation. Handcuffed to the prime suspect - lovely up-and-coming actress Rita Clare - and on the run from a pair of corrupt cops intent on giving him a beating, his only option is to try to solve the case himself. If, that is, he can avoid becoming sidetracked by a succession of steamy but ultimately frustrating run-ins with the tantalisingly alluring women he encounters along the way.

With their erotic pin-up covers and hardboiled crime tales, the Hank Janson pulp paperbacks were a British publishing sensation in the 1940s and 1950s, selling millions of copies to readers craving escapism from post-war austerity. Prosecutions under Britain's then-harsh obscenity laws dealt them a severe blow, however, and today they are highly sought-after by collectors.

Sister, Don't Hate Me, the first of the second main series of Hank Janson novels, is reissued by Telos Publishing complete with the sensational Reginald Heade cover artwork that graced its original December 1949 edition.
