Punish Lesson

Midwood 32-470 1965

Inside the classroom she was the teacher and he, the student… but outside, he was the one who gave the orders!

From the back:

She had no choice but to submit to his vicious and degrading blackmail demands if she was to protect her career as a teacher and her reputation as a woman. Whatever he asked of her, whatever he wanted from her, she was forced to give if she was to keep her secret shame from being exposed. She trembled as his brutal words pierced the cloud of despair that engulfed her. “… been looking at you for three years, thinking of what I’d do if I ever got the chance. Well, now I’ve got that chance, and teacher, I’m going to make the most of it!”

She was only seventeen, but her body was already bought and paid for in full by another woman — a Lesbian.

From the back:

Just Between Girls

Penny stood in the shower, soaping herself carefully. The naked blonde who waited on the other side of the shower curtain had promised her a different kind of evening. Penny suspected what it would be, and she was ready. She needed love, even if it were with another woman. She had waited too long to care.

The story of a beautiful young girl who learned what it meant to be “A bit of fluff.”

She was eager to be taught each new step of the strange illicit dance of desire

From the back:

The Strange Breed 
Toni… breathtakingly beautiful, majestically proportioned, fantastically depraved… a creature so cruel and yet so exciting that few of her helpless victims ever sought to escape her dark domination. 
Selena… plump and pampered and perverted… accustomed to being catered to by both men and women and equally as able to enjoy each brand of passion. 
Eunice… too young and pretty and vulnerable to cope with the perfumed sensuality that surrounded her… a girl held captive to the role of a sex-slave by her own high-voltaged passions.

69 Barrow Street (Hard Case Crime)

33409302-69-69BarrowStreet

At The Intersection Of Sin And Madness…

Greenwich Village: home to every form of depravity and perversion known to man…or woman.

It’s on the streets of the Village that Ralph met Stella—but what started as a love affair between a painter and his seductive muse has become torment as he’s found himself drawn into her world of cruel pleasures. It’s a tinderbox of hatred and desire—and when beautiful Susan Rivers moves into their apartment building, tempting Ralph and Stella both, it’s set to ignite.

From dim waterfront bars to the movie houses of Times Square, from nights in rat-trap hotel rooms to drug-fueled orgies in ground-floor apartments, no one can bring 1960s New York to life like Edgar Award winner Lawrence Block. And in this early tale of psychological suspense—unavailable for fifty years and never before published under his real name—readers will discover a harrowing portrait of men and women pushed to their limits and beyond. It’s a double shot of darkness as only Lawrence Block can deliver it.

Published as part of a “Double Novel” with another Lawrence Block story, Strange Embrace.

The original Paul Rader cover is here.

Addie was man crazy until Margo showed her that man-woman love isn’t everything.

From the back:

Girl On The Make

Some girls untangle the mystery of sex the easy way. A man-or a woman-shows them what they want. Or they settle for what they can get. Addie was different. The blonde, leggy teenager burned to experience all life had to offer, no matter how dangerous that might be.


Perhaps Addie wanted too much, too soon. But if New York men — or women –were the only way to get it, then she was prepared to give them everything and anything they wanted.


New York men! There were Broadway sharpies, Greenwich Village hippies, thrill-seeking tourists, even Skid Row bums. And there was Cliff who loved her.


New York women! The one who disturbed her most was Margo, her father’s mistress, a lovely French girl who showed her that man-woman sex was just one aspect of love. And there were others.


Ever hungry for love, Addie in time became the user and the used…
