Framed for a murder he didn’t commit, forced to kidnap and chain up a beautiful passer-by – who turns out to be a millionairess – in order to avoid capture, and with a broken hypodermic needle buried in his festering arm, he finds events conspiring against him. Will he be able to get out from under all these problems, or is a lengthy prison sentence – or even death – what fate has in store for him?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis intriguing thriller is the latest in Telos Publishing’s acclaimed Hank Janson reissue series, and reinstates Reginald Heade’s striking, previously-unpublished original artwork cover, which was censored when the book first appeared in 1951 in an attempt to avoid prosecution for obscenity.","brand":"Telos Publishing Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47079624704240,"sku":"2940149464586","price":4.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940149464586_p0.jpg?v=1763717575","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940149464586","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
