Lester Dent is best known for the bajillion Doc Savage pulp stories he wrote during the 1930s. According to Lee Server 's Encyclopedia of Pulp Fiction Writers, Dent started to turn his hand to crime fiction in the mid-1940s, and even sold a hardboiled novel called Cry at Dusk to Gold Medal in 1952. And then, that was it. Dent retired from the pulp and paperback game... until now. Charles Ardai, somehow, has managed to find an unpublished hardboiled Dent novel called Honey in His Mouth; Hard Case will be publishing it this October. You can check out a sample chapter right here. I'm routinely stunned by the gems Ardai digs up; October can't come soon enough. I want to read everything right now, damnit!
