Tokey
Wedge is an old throw-back Private Eye ala Shell Scott. Operating in the big
city with a couple of friends on the police force, Tokey has a way of getting
into trouble when it comes to hot-blooded dames. In this outing, he’s hired by
a rich tycoon named Langland, to protect his precious rock, the Black Opal. The
financier has serious money troubles and Tokey is convinced he’s planning on
stealing the gem himself to collect the big insurance policy.
Adding dangerous
spice to the situation is Langland’s wife, a buxom sex-pot named Virginia who
is into a local mobster for serious gambling debts. She needs the cash to get
her neck out of the noose. As if she wasn’t dynamite fleshly delights enough, Virginia
has an identical twin sister who was once her husband’s former lover. Abbigail,
nicknamed Nabby, is an alcoholic lush who despises her sister for stealing her
man. So Tokey has two raging nymphos two handle…pun intended. But the trouble
doesn’t end there. The case also offers up a third femme-fatale in the shape of
Langland’s beautiful stepdaughter from his deceased first wife, Sonya. Though
only a lowly 36 C, the half-Japanese Sonya makes a living as a bra-model.
“Torrid
Twins” is so true to its sweat-mags roots as to propel the reader on a pulp
time-travel adventure. The raunchy humor, the two fisted punches and the flying
hot-lead resound with genuine authenticity from a time long gone. If you recall
those days with fondness and need a good laugh, grab a copy. As Tokey might
say, “It’s a handful of action.”

I just finished Nympho Lodge, Grizzly Pulp # 1, which is the first book in the Tokey Wedge series. A fun read, reminiscent of Richard Prather's Shell Scott, definitely! I'll be on the look out for other books in the series. - greg
