Two cops had gone missing, and their boss wanted to know what had happened to them. But he wasn't sure just who he could trust down at headquarters, so he gave the job to Larry Kent, the only man he felt he could rely on. Larry soon found himself up to his shoulder holster in trouble. Whatever the missing cops had been investigating, it was big. That's why the dapper little chili-eating hustler Pete Grills wanted him dead. Why the seductive Ester Newell tried to recruit him rather than fight him. Why the shallow TV personality Grant Kelso had to die … and why the stakes were higher than Larry could ever imagine. Over 400 Larry Kent novels and novelettes were published under the Larry Kent byline. The covers usually featured paintings of leggy, full-figured babes and sported such snappy (and often exclamation mark-endowed) titles as Kill Me a Little!, This Way, Sucker!, Cute Heat!, Dig Me a Dame! and Stand Up and Die! Add on the 150 or so radio shows, and we figure that Larry turns out to be one of the hardest working eyes around ... certainly it is the longest-running detective series in history!Piccadilly Publishing have chosen 25 Larry Kent novels to be made available for the first time digitally in the English language and feature the gorgeous original covers (themselves collectible)., with PP's own slant on them.
