Synopsis

Frank Kane is most famous as the creator of detective Johnny Liddell, whose escapades thrilled paperback readers throughout the 1950s and 60s. These two novels offer a different side of Mr. Kane, the first novel being the story of a woman whose road to success is paved with murder, the second a hard-hitting thriller about a corrupt city and the man who stakes his life to clean it up.

It ends with a dead sheriff and Liz on the run. She soon finds Gunson, a pretty-boy hood, and together they create their own little crime spree. But you don't turn your back on Liz for long, and Gunson soon discovers that he's as expendable as the next guy who turns out to be a hood named Lew Barker. Trouble is, they all figure they know more than Liz. They all figure they're more ruthless than a woman. They know the score. But they all learn the hard way Liz makes it on her terms, and she's got nothing to lose.SYNDICATE GIRL Jackson City is owned by the Syndicate. Everyone knows it.
