"No, Larry, no," she repeated over and over. But one boy held her tightly, and the other pressed the point into her flesh...

WALK SOFTLY

Artie      

The young punk had him backed into a corner. Smiling, savoring the kill. The knife rose slowly to waist level. "Okay, man," he breathed, "Where do you want it?"

WALK DEADLY

Tomahawk
   The switchblade snapped out and in one slash he opened the sweater down the front. "What's the matter, Peggy," he taunted, "you ain't talking so smart now."

Chris
"To knife an enemy," the judge began, "is an uncivilized act. This is the case of a boy who knifed his own brother." The court was deadly quiet...

Acts of violence that are unforgivable...in "The street side story that is unforgettable." Here is a popular young novelist's masterpiece of passion and suspense. WALK SOFTLY, WALK DEADLY is already being hailed as one of the season's paperback greats.

There were three of them. Trouble hung over them like a cloud. But trouble was their business.

As they passed the four young men sitting in the booth the last man, a young giant with about as much muscle as a heavy lorry, tripped over an out-thrust toe.

It could have been deliberate. It could have been an accident.

It made no difference. The giant's left hand shot out and grabbed a fistful of leather jacket. Without effort he lifted the struggling young punk off his seat, smashed him in the face with a hard-cutting right and threw him away.

They were trouble. Trouble for Laura, trouble for the police, trouble for anybody who got in their way. Trouble with a capitol T.

FIRST PUBLISHED IN HARDBACK BY ROBERT HALE 1957

When vivacious, blonde Judith Bramwell vanished from a respectable Thanet home, her father found reason to believe that she had been absorbed into the night life of London's West End.

Larry Vernon, aided by the beautiful and mature Angela Cameron, had an unenviable task in searching for the missing girl.

Had she simply run away to try to start a stage career? Or was there some more sinister explanation? Had she been drugged, for example? Larry had to turn to the underworld in his search.

And in the long run he stumbled on some vital information about a brutal murder, and unearthed one of the most cunning vice organisations ever discovered in that notorious area called....Soho.

DAVID BATESON, the author of SOHO JUNGLE, tells us that the book is not intended as a condemnation of the whole of Soho and its inhabitants. Rather it is directed against the unscrupulous minority there whose crimes of violence, fraud and pimping tend to bring the cosmopolitan neighbourhood into disrepute, making it the hub of what has been called "The Shocking City."
