- Synopsis
- “First released in 1958, primo pulp fiction starring knockout private eye-ful Honey West. Pour a martini, light up a Lucky, relax and enjoy” (Kirkus Reviews). She’s a cross between James Bond and The Avengers’ Emma Peel—a girl detective with the sleuthmanship of Mike Hammer and the measurements of Marilyn Monroe. This Girl for Hire is the first in a series of darkly funny and innuendo-laden crime novels originally published in the 1950s and 1960s. In this one, Honey finds herself playing strip poker with four murder suspects . . . and the deck is as stacked as she is! Praise for the Honey West series “Reintroduce[s] the sassy private eye bombshell . . . to a new generation.” —Los Angeles Times “One of the first female private detectives in popular fiction . . . If you are looking for some fun, summer reading, you could do a lot worse than meeting Ms. Honey West.” —Pulp Fiction Reviews
