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.
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.
First published by Doubleday in 1932 in the depth of the Great Depression, an era whose seamy side it depicts, and only recently rediscovered, Fast One by Paul Cain explodes into real life with the story of one of the toughest characters ever to emerge in American fiction.
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.
