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!

One of the later entries in the "classic era" range (originally the tenth book of the fourth series), Torment has long been regarded by Hank Janson aficionados as providing an outstanding illustration of the exciting and compelling qualities of these classic adventures. The Telos publication of Torment was a fiftieth anniversary edition.
