A seemingly innocuous visit to a fashion show leads Chicago Chronicle's ace reporter Hank Janson into a web of murder and intrigue with dark secrets from the past. Uncovering a disturbing scenario of sexual obsession and violence, he starts to realise that this is one assignment to which there can be no easy answers, and no happy ending ... With their erotic pin-up covers and hardboiled crime tales, the Hank Janson pulp paperback novels were a British publishing sensation in the 1940s and 1950s, selling millions of copies to readers craving escapism from post-war austerity. Prosecutions under Britain's then-harsh obscenity laws dealt them a severe blow, however, and today they are highly sought-after by collectors. Some Look Better Dead is the third entry in Telos Publishing Ltd's acclaimed reissue series, and features the original cover art by legendary British illustrator Reginald Heade.
