Judging a book by its cover is usually a recipe for mistaken impressions, but one glance at a Hard Case Crime novel and you know exactly what you're getting: guns, grifters, gumshoes, and gams. The publisher trades exclusively in hardboiled crime, and its titles include reprints of classic noir and new works written in the '40s and '50s style. Filled with high adventure and lowlifes, Hard Case Crime serves up pulp fiction at its best.
