Paperback. Condition: New. 5 x 7 inches. 186 pp. Paperback. New reprint of the 1954 edition featuring the original cover art. Set in the Kentucky Hills, this is the story of the ambitious and lustful Rady Cromwell and three women. This was the only novel Janice Holt Giles wrote using a pseudonym. Although appreciative of her first publisher, the religiously oriented Westminster Press, she became increasingly dismayed that editors trimmed her books down "to pure sweetness and light." "Hill Man" was her most provocative work and also allowed her to experiment in the racier mass market paperback genre. After "Hill Man," Gilesvsettled in to producing the historical fiction that for the most part defined her literary career. Professional bookseller for 20 years.
