The Mafia was trying to infiltrate Australia, so Australia did the only thing it could – it called for Larry Kent. Larry, a New York private eye, was the only man who'd ever been put on the Mafia's Kill List and lived to tell the tale. He'd made a lifelong study of the Mob and its ways, and the minute he touched down in Sydney he went to work. The first thing he did was target Benny Wade, Australia's new would-be Godfather. The second thing was to declare all-out war on the Syndicate … a war he was determined to win! Over 400 Larry Kent novels and novelettes were published under the Larry Kent byline. The covers usually featured paintings of leggy, full-figured babes and sported such snappy (and often exclamation mark-endowed) titles as Kill Me a Little!, This Way, Sucker!, Cute Heat!, Dig Me a Dame! and Stand Up and Die! Add on the 150 or so radio shows, and we figure that Larry turns out to be one of the hardest working eyes around ... certainly it is the longest-running detective series in history!Piccadilly Publishing have chosen 25 Larry Kent novels to be made available for the first time digitally in the English language and feature the gorgeous original covers (themselves collectible)., with PP's own slant on them.
