Frank KANE Le Dragon aime l’opium 

A Johnny Liddell investigation. (The guilt edged frame)

1966. The collection “Tonnerre” ‘s goal was to present to the french readership america’s bestselling crime novels of the period. Alas, the collection did not go further than seven issues among which were 3 “Shell Scott” novels by Richard S. Prather and 2 “Johnny Liddell” by Frank Kane.

There was a real effortmade by the publisher on the presentation and the printing of the novels.
