The Night People were an urban myth, weren't they?A bunch of freaks and other deformed men and women who preferred their own company to that of the people who hated and reviled them. It was said they lived in the sewers beneath New York City, with all the snakes and alligators. People laughed at the idea that such a society could live, undetected, beneath the busiest metropolis in the world.But Larry Kent knew different. The Night People existed, all right, and they were friends of his.When multi-millionaire Gordon Pierson's daughter was kidnapped-apparently by the normally peaceful Night People-he hired Larry to find her and bring her home again.He dare not fail … because if he did, Pierson promised to mobilize the National Guard and clean out the sewers with guns and flamethrowers.The fate of the Night People lay in Larry's hands. 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.
