The Key to Karen

Karen Cambridge was murdered in a most unusual manner … poisoned by a dart tipped with curare.The police did the best they could, but even after weeks of investigation they were no closer to catching her killer than they had been at the beginning.So Karen's wealthy father put Larry Kent on the case. But Larry ran into trouble as soon as he started snooping around. A psychotic stalker with a knife didn't like the way he befriended Karen's man-hungry friend Rita Dell. The cops warned him off the case because they were scared he'd make them look incompetent.And then the body count started to rise, as one by one, the only people who could offer him a key to Karen's murder were themselves being disposed of … 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.
