White Slave Racket
From the back:
The lure of the stage makes a perfect bait for enticing young girls into the nefarious white-slave trade. A dancing school is the perfect blind to cover up these activities. Little do the victims suspect what fate has in store for them until it is too late, too late to escape, almost too late for help
Roland Vane has toured the world seeking data for his books, and knows the seamy side of life as well as, if not better than, any other writer in the world. He has studied the machinations of those operating in the white-slave racket from every possible angle. He knows the houses; he knows the girls; he knows the operators; and, most important of all, Mr. Vane knows the people in the background—the shadows who reap the big profits.
Here is fiction woven about a completely factual background. The people are rea! people—the houses, real houses—the situations, real situations. All only thinly disguised just enough to protect the innocent.
No one can read this book without knowing that here is a true story told in all its sordid detail.
Ward 20 (1949)
All They Wanted Was A Woman
From the back:
“You’ve got lovely legs!” Smooth Keenan grinned up at Nurse Patricia Mahon. She blushed and backed away. But his arm was too swift. It snaked out, caught her thighs and dragged her close to the bed … Keenan was only one of the many ex-soldiers rotting away in the amputee ward of an army hospital. There were others like Milton Halpern, blinded and bitter; Tony Schiappas who had lost both legs; and Meneilly whose wife was two-timing him. They had paid the ugly price of war. Now shattered in body and spirit, they found themselves tormented by their need for women — a need so terribly hard to fill. A stark picture of twenty-four hours in the lives of desperate men and the women who waited for them!
