SYNOPSIS: “Hank Janson was the pseudonym of Stephen D Frances. Hank Janson was a publishing phenomenon, selling books by the million and carving a niche for himself as the ‘King of Tough Gangster Authors’. However, the British legal system did not feel the same way and Janson, together with his publishers, were subjected to vilification, censorship and imprisonment for the crimes of writing and publishing the books. For the first time, author Steve Holland presents the true story behind the headlines, in a book which is as hard hitting and as frank as Janson’s novels.
This edition features a previously unseen cover painting by regular Janson cover artist Reginal Heade, and includes pictures of rare Janson book covers in full colour.”
