Hellcat

Once the world's most popular pulp author, with over 50,000,000 books in print, Carter Brown's work was sadly lost to time. But now, thanks to painstaking digital reconstruction, compiled from crumbling unearthed treasures, the master of crime, murder and femme fatales is back! Hellcat (1962) original blurb: The torrid untamed beauty was tangled in a family conspiracy about a head in the morgue. She’d already clashed with Lieutenant Al Wheeler in a battle of primitive fury. Now, as a vicious gangster demanded vengeance for his brother’s brutal murder, she was cornered – for the killer… Tawny-eyed and tempestuous, she went by the name of Charity – though Mayhem suited her better. Her brother, Crispin, was tight-lipped and tyrannical – and it was no wonder Charity had plenty to say about him. But she clammed up immediately when police lieutenant Al Wheeler mentioned an unidentified head in the morgue and a dying woman’s confession. They were the only leads in a gruesome five-year-old murder case… until the brains behind Murder Incorporated dropped into the sheriff’s office and the unorthodox police lieutenant finally found himself playing tag in the dark… with the blind killer they called The Creeping Terror…
