“Sure I Lust For Love,” She Smiled. “But What’s More I Also Love Lust!”
LOVE STARVED . . . and strangely addicted to her dangerous desires Cilo Haven searched the byways of her soul trying to find the ultimate in passions and pleasures of the flesh. That’s why so few men found her lacking in the intimate knowledge of love and desire . . . and fewer yet realized what kind of woman she really was . . . until it was too late for them to withdraw from the tendrils of her trap of . . . LUST AND SIN!”

From Heritage Auctions:

This painting was originally published as the cover for All True Police Detective Cases October, 1950, albeit in another variation (which would have been the original version of the painting). It was also slightly altered again and used later for the cover of Police Detective July, 1958. The current state of the painting is presumed to have been published a third time as a cover-though we were unable to nail down this usage

Obviously, I was able to nail down the usage, as well as add Best True Fact Detective July 1954

Eileen was the amateur — Lily was all pro! The Unexpurgated Truth About Women Of The Slums. Will Shock Some — And Shame Others!

From the back:

MUST every girl fall victim to the tawdry evils of the city jungles? Are there no defenses against dope and liquor — the blandishments of procurers — the pawings of young punks? With shocking realism, this novel depicts the degrading lives of young women caught up in squalor and immorality, whose only hope is to be cleansed by their own sins…

Here is the story of Eileen Carter, a blossom among the weeds—and of Lily, buxom Lily, who turned pro and was proud of it. Brutal Tom Dolan plucked the blossom, then traded on her lush beauty, which was perfect bait for the rich boys from across the tracks. What Eileen could not handle, the indefatigable Lily accommodated… For both girls meant to squirm out of the slum, to climb high at any cost! All the more bitter that at the top of their climb, they tumbled back into the depths where twisted men waited to exploit female flesh …!

Bound to disturb the self-righteous, PLEASURE ALLEY will come as a revelation to all who believe that “nice” girls cannot succumb to indecency!
