Shafted

img_0590.JPG

“Shaftman” Rated X. From the cover: “Take a trip to Soultown, USA. with this hard-pumping, lip-biting divorce detective, hired to put the screws to his client’s wife. Listen to the action-packed dramatization as you are taken through the streets and by-ways of Harlem, in this bold, ball-busting, private dick thriller.”
