New Fiction Regular Print – Paperback Jack by Loren D. Estleman - Returning from WWII service a writer finds himself having to forge a new career writing sexy crime novels for the paperback trade because the pulp magazines that gave him a living before the war are no longer popular. The book has a noir feeling as it faithfully depicts the burgeoning paperback industry of the late 1940s while the hero gets involved with artists, gangsters, and even Congress. As he searches for realism in the genre of lurid crime fiction Jack is threatened both by the gangsters he interviewed and by a Congressional investigation of the whole paperback trade. 72% of readers rated Paperback Jack with 4 or 5 stars.
