About this ebook
Benny Tapkow has worked as a crime boss Pendleton’s chauffeur for seven years, but he’s itching to get ahead. He feels like he serves a piece of the action, but Pendleton won’t budge. So Benny strikes a deal with Big Al Alverato to kidnap Pendleton’s daughter Pat to get him in with the rival gang. But the snatch doesn’t come off as planned, and now Benny is stuck with Pat, a hellion with a temper and plenty of mood swings. Pendelton’s men are after him and he has to dope her just to keep her in line. The last thing he figured on was falling in love.

5/5

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5"Benny Muscles In" is a masterwork by pulp writer Peter Rabe. It is a fantastic portrait of a young hood who thinks he has paid his dues and now he deserves his territory. Throughout the book, Benny almost compulsively pursues his chosen vocation, never mixing business with pleasure as one dame kids him. The picture of Benny that Rabe paints is amazing. You almost feel for this hapless guy caught up in the middle of a power struggle between two syndicates and thinking that anyone gives a damn about him. But in it all, you have this guy with the balls to speak his piece to anyone. Fearless.
This book is solidly hardboiled. It is tough, violent nasty, but a does have a tantalizing femme fatale who enjoys nothing more than needling Benny as he just tried to do his job, a job not really appreciated.
