Stark House Press recently reissued two standout novels by Richard Jessup, a writer who never confined himself to a single genre. Jessup grew up in an orphanage, ran away to sea at thirteen, and worked every tough job imaginable before turning out scripts, TV shows, and more than seventy novels. He sometimes wrote under pseudonyms such as Richard Telfair or Carey Rockwell.
Port Angelique and Wolf Cop each showcase a different side of Jessup’s talent for portraying people on the edge.
