Torment sees Chicago Chronicle reporter Hank Janson caught up in a convoluted web of intrigue involving telepathy, murder, grave robbing, pornographic photographs, infidelity and suicide! He is faced with having to uncover the links that bind all these disparate and seemingly unconnected events together and discover what really lies behind them. One of the later entries in the "classic era" range (originally the tenth book of the fourth series), Torment has long been regarded by Hank Janson aficionados as providing an outstanding illustration of the exciting and compelling qualities of these classic adventures.
