Crime Fiction: Main l Hank Janson
Crime FictionIn June 2003 Telos introduced a new range of reprinted Classic Crime thrillers by Hank Janson. Controversial in their day, and as 'near to the knuckle' as the censors would allow, original examples of these books have become sought after collectors editions. The Telos range of reprints feature the highly sought after original cover artwork and in some cases, where this artwork was censored, the cover artwork as originally intended. Telos is now expanding into other areas of Crime writing with reprints of the first three in Mike Ripley's acclaimed 'Angel' series of novels. Watch this space for more crime titles in the future.

Telos Publishing is proud to present the first ever paperback edition of the twelfth book in Mike Ripley's acclaimed series of comic crime novels - complete with a new, specially-written introduction by the author.
"The description of getting into Belmarsh Prison is so detailed that the author must surely have gone through this rigmarole himself ... Enough to make you laugh out loud ... An unfailingly funny crime series." Professor Bernard Knight (former Home Office Pathologist) "Mike Ripley is Britain’s funniest crime writer. Angel On The Inside is both riotous and riotously funny." Peter Guttridge, The Observer "Full of the good stuff, with a plot as meaty as prime steak and just as rich in protein ..." Philip Oakes, Literary Review
