Hank Janson's chance meeting with a beautiful female hitchhiker, Cora Tanter, is just the start of a thrilling tale involving an elderly archaeologist, his rich but suicidal young wife, and a haul of valuable Roman artefacts. And just who is the mysterious figure making repeated attempts to assassinate Hank himself? Add to this the complications of his on-off relationship with Chicago Chronicle colleague Sheila Lang, and Hank really has his work cut out this time! This reissue, complete with Reginald Heade's stunning original cover artwork, brings back in to print, for the first time in decades, one of the books that featured heavily in the infamous Hank Janson obscenity trials of the 1950s.
