HELL hath FURY !!! Nov 15, 2007
By Robert
These femme fatales of the 1950's have their marching orders...to lie, cheat, steal, seduce and manipulate to get what they deserve - which is anything and everything they can get their greedy little mitts on!
These true stories show the reader the darker side of women in the 1950's - where these hard-boiled criminals stalk in the shadows, some first making the appearance of a sweet little kitten, but eventually all let their the claws cut people in their way to ribbons!
A great book for any fan of true crime noir!

Bad Girls Done Right! May 16, 2007
By S. Michael Wilson
"A Strange Hero to a Select Few"
Bad girls and tough dames have always been a cornerstone of crime drama both in print and on the big screen. While that truth has held fast throughout the years, never were the girls so gritty and dangerous as they were in the fifties, and this book is living proof of that.
This collection of stories ripped right of the scandal rags of the fifties is sure to please any fan of the hardcore sleaze writing that most modern authors can only attempt to emulate. A must read, to say the least.

50 tales of blood and lust Oct 07, 2007
By Shelby
From the repressed 1950s (playground of the alpha male) come hardboiled tales of desperate and abused women pushed to their breaking point by a series of rough men and unfortunate events. Striking back at society with the only weapon they know (a gun, frying pan, saw, knife or sex), their criminal deeds do not go unpunished. Prison, the death chamber, or the morgue awaits all hellcats, vixens and vice dolls that cut a bloody path through 1950s' crime.

Sex, Sleaze and Sin! May 15, 2007
By Riley0091
Gathered from police and detective magazines of the 1950s, this collection of fifty hard-boiled "women gone wrong" tales has more than enough sleaze, violence and sex to give Sergeant Joe Friday a wet dream.
With titles like: Bloody Barbara, She Sawed Off His Head, The Sex Party Racket, and One Thousand Thugs and a Girl, HELLCATS, VIXENS, AND VICE DOLLS will surely entertain and horrify even the most jaded true crime readers.

Sexy and Brutal Jan 10, 2008
By Chris
A fast (as in "easy") and furious (as in "will cut your head off with a band saw if she thinks you are cheating on her") collection of 50, 1950s hellcats running wild and taking a bite out of every thing in their path, only to be corralled and caged by a legion of clean-shaven boys in blue. These cases are the very best in vintage crime reporting.
