“Cons, Dames & G-Men” An Anthology

Part Two: I grew up reading crime stories and watching crime movies. I don’t mean the kind of crime tales you can get now. I’m talking about the gritty crime of the thirties through the early fifties. My father introduced me to the genre and I was immediately hooked. Back then people didn’t give a lot of thought to what was appropriate for children. So, … Continue reading “Cons, Dames & G-Men” An Anthology
