Author Dan Marlowe's famous Johnny Killain character, and another noir paperback original published in the 1950s. Who is Johnny Killain?

Here's a quote:

"Killain works as a night porter, bouncer and part-time detective in a hotel...Killain is a character very typical of the “hard-boiled detective story”: of massive physique, aggressive, cool, reckless, a survivor. He is bubbling with sarcastic wit and, of course, is a great man for the women.

Sound interesting? --- Well! Download the book and start reading!!

I hope you enjoy it.
