Either four stars or none - this is about the sleaziest, most sordid book I have ever read. Sexism, racism, you name it, it's all there as we watch the progress of a gangster named Raven trying to take over crime in St. Louis, particularly prostitution, which he has some interesting business plans for. In sheer number of outrageous scenes, Chase even tops his classic "No Orchids for Miss Blandish." Lots of people get what they deserve in his one, in ways you won't soon forget. This was banned in Britain for being pornographic. It is definitely extreme in its depiction of violence against women - but then the women get their turn also - boy, do they get their turn....

Originally banned in the UK, this is the story of Miss Callaghan. Not of any particular Miss Callaghan, but of the hundreds of Miss Callaghans who disappear from their homes suddenly and mysteriously and are seen no more by those who knew and loved them. This is also the story of Raven, who played with clockwork trains, the leader of the White Slave Ring in East St. Louis, who was responsible for the keeping to full strength the army of women for the service of men.
