REVENGE
should be carefully planned - especially by beautiful girls who have never handled a gun before.

Penny Russell had no time for planning. Her burning hatred for "CAP" Moreley was too strong, and it was only by luck that Hank got the gun away from her in time.

For Moreley was the most vicious man in London. He was the boss - he had the Town in his pocket - he could do anything. Or thought he could, until he raped Penny with Hank watching tied up and helpless.

That was when Hank ceased to read him lessons from the Good Book, and Moreley learnt his manners the hard way.

HANK JANSON has outlasted most of the fictional heroes of the post-war years, simply because he has always remained a human being whose adventures are credible. His morality is as rugged as his appearance, but the newspaperman's cynicism is tempered by a deep humanity. He despises hypocrisy and, roused by the meanness of crime, he can lay about him with a determination and carefree abandon that is irresistible.

Perfect murders are almost impossible. There are too many pitfalls. Yet when Jeremy Johns confesses that he has comitted three "perfect" murders, it seems that he could be right. But nemesis in the shape of HANK JANSON has other ideas. His relentless probe brings him into contact with the bevy of beautiful girls who attend John's phoney "school for authors". Phoney, because when Hank stirs the muddy waters, strange and ugly things come to the surface.

Hank Janson is unique. His phenomenally popular personality has grown during fifteen years of publication from the early rough-diamond reporter to the sophisticated international trouble-shooter of today. Tough, hard-living and hard-loving, Hank has become the idol of fans the world over, creating an almost insatiable demand for his virile, all-action stories.
