( ) Unfortunately, as products of their time, both of these books wind up with the "sexually deviant" women either committed, converted, killed or incarcerated. The books also have a surprising amount of racism included, which maybe wasn't so shocking in the 1960s, but I can't believe wasn't edited out considering these books were reissued a mere 2 years ago. no reviews | add a review

Strange embrace : Published here for the first time in half a century--and the first time ever under the author s real name--Strange Embrace is one of MWA Grand Master Lawrence Block s earliest detective novels, presented in the classic Ace Doubles format with new cover art by the legendary Robert McGinnis. It's two times the Block, and for fans of his whodunits who want to see where it all began, it's cause for a standing ovation...Sixty nine Barrow street :From dim waterfront bars to the movie houses of Times Square, from nights in rat-trap hotel rooms to drug-fueled orgies in ground-floor apartments, no one can bring 1960s New York to life like Edgar Award winner Lawrence Block. And in this early tale of psychological suspense--unavailable for fifty years and never before published under his real name--readers will discover a harrowing portrait of men and women pushed to their limits and beyond. Presented in the classic Ace Doubles format, with new cover art by the legendary Robert McGinnis, it's a double shot of darkness as only Lawrence Block can deliver it No library descriptions found. |
