Billed as "the most hard-boiled novel of the 1930s" and
featuring one of the most brutal finales in crime fiction history,
some say this lost 1933 masterpiece took hard-boiled crime writing
too far. In the last days of Prohibition and the first days of the
Depression, East Coast crime bosses are vying for control of Los
Angeles. Caught in the middle of the intrigue is Gerry Kells, a
former New York enforcer now living a life of ease on the West
coast. As the fiercely independent Kells rejects the appeals of
various crime bosses who want to make use of his talents, powerful
forces align against him. Being framed for a murder turns out to be
the least of his troubles and as the stakes get higher, and the
odds get longer, it's only Kells' nerve and toughness that keep him
one step ahead of the law--and the reaper.
Murder multiplied by SEVEN Supercharged action and breath-taking
suspense in this carnival of crime from the blood-dripped pen of
Paul Cain, a connoisseur of crime who writes in the best homicidal
tradition of Hammett and Chandler. This is one collection of
spine-tingling murder yarns that you won't read with your back to
the door.
Jake's Journey is a story about a boy, his dog, Pjay and an
unforgettable adventure during a holiday to Cornwall. One day
walking along a beach after a ferocious storm Pjay unearths a
bracelet. Little does Jake know that this bracelet will lead him on
a life changing journey back in time when a certain man shared a
message of hope, love and life changing results. On his journey
Jake will meet people who had their lives changed when they
listened to the words of the man from Galiee and the mysterious
bracelet will reveal something special about the quest.
