Dixon Hawke: The Black Angel Files

Synopsis:
“The complete criminal artist. If I didn’t hate that woman like poison, if I didn’t know her for the black-hearted murderess she is, there are times when I could almost admire her.” ~Dixon Hawke, The Return of the Black Angel, 1933

She’s beautiful, she’s deadly, and she plays the game better than anyone. Nicolette Lazare, better known as The Black Angel, didn’t just steal fabulous treasures—she stole the spotlight. And once she crossed paths with Dixon Hawke in 1932, his life was never the same. For nine years, she returned again and again, outsmarting, ambushing, and nearly killing the great detective himself.

G.H. Teed knew how to write villains—but his women? They were something else. Unmatched geniuses in high heels, queens of crime with a taste for money, power and revenge. And the Black Angel? She might just be his most lethal creation.

Inside this volume: three of her boldest strikes—The Terror from Devil’s Island (1932), The Return of the Black Angel (1933), and Black Angel’s Last Bid (1933). Republished here for the first time ever, these tales deliver everything you'd expect from the golden age of pulp: action, danger, clever crimes, and a femme fatale who’s impossible to forget.

Enjoy!
