1ST PRINTING 1959

PITILESSLY EXPOSES THE DEPRAVITY OF THE TRUE ADDICT, WHO TAKES LOVERS WITHOUT NUMBER, PERFORMS EVERY HEINOUS VICE, IN ORDER TO EMBRACE HER ONE TRUE LOVE . . . THE NEEDLE!

DRUGGED AND DEPRAVED!

One look at Gina and you knew she was a nice girl - nice on top, nice on bottom, even nicer in between. Furthermore, she had nice ideas, nice morals, and a nice head on her beautiful shoulders. But a beatnik named Bob slipped her a charge of heroin one night. After that, Gina was not so nice. . . . 

First came the orgies of dope and dizzying lust. Then the long transports of shameless ecstasy in the grip of the drug. And finally, selling that "nice" body of hers to anybody for any purpose. For solely in this fashion could she earn enough to buy heroin for herself, for her Bob, and for sleazy Willy, her filthy protector and pimp.

Fighting desperately to escape the drug and the degradation, Gina knew that in love lay her one hope. But she was truly loved, it seemed, only by another girl - by green-eyed Lois, the young sister of a dangerous dope-pusher! And he walked in, one day, while Gina and Lois were warmly embracing! . . .

He organized a SYNDICATE OF SIN!

AT FIRST it was just for fun-amateur stuff. It did no harm to anybody, except maybe one or two innocent young kids in a cellar club, kids like Marilyn Wentworth...

But then Al Robbins began to put things on a professional basis. He forced Marilyn to recruit good-looking college debs. He sent his lieutenant, big Tony, after pretty little factory workers and gamins from the garment district. Soon he had everything a man needs to be kingpin of a vice racket. Everything, that is, except a go-ahead from the mob-and from his own tigress of a girl-friend.

SOME HOODS FIGHT THEIR BATTLES WITH KNIVES AND TOMMY GUNS. 

BUT AL WENT THEM ONE BETTER. HIS BEST WEAPONS WERE WOMEN....!

THIS WAY DOWN

Seven steps descended from the side-walk to the cellar club. They led lovely young Kathie Melton out of the innocence of her teens into the guilt and viciousness of a precociously sinful world!

Kathie knew the cellar gang was a little wild. She joined, just the same-chiefly to show Hank Landrum she was tired of his idea of an exciting Saturday night. What she didn't know was that the cellar crowd were fond of vile amusements and up to their necks in the rackets.

The excitement really started when Hank, out of longing for her, tried to pull her from the gang. Its jittery members decided to take care of both Hank and Kathie...

A frank, shocking novel of teen-age life in a New York slum! Here are intimately revealed the desperate secrets of youth caught in the toils of poverty, seeking escape through vice and violence!
