About This Item
The Detective Book Club produced volumes of three crime novels from 1942 to 1999. Originally monthly, near the end they dwindled down to just a few per year. Many famous detective and crime novelists had their early works featured in DBC editions. Often, books were published in DBC editions before, or at the same time as they were published in mass market form. A little about our authors:
E. X. Ferrars: During her career, Ferrars published over 70 novels, mostly as stand-alone novels. Her longest series were the Virginia Freer and Andrew Basnett series, each with eight volumes. This is the seventh Andrew Basnett novel.
Les Roberts: Roberts turned to mystery writing after a 24 year career in Hollywood as a writer for shows such as Man from U.N.C.L.E., Andy Griffith Show, Jackie Gleason Show, and Hollywood Squares. He produced two mystery series, featuring Saxon (6) and Milan Jacovich (19), plus three additional novels. This is the sixth Jacovich novel.
Robert Lee Hall: Writer and High School teacher Hall published nine novels between 1977 and 1997, six of which were in his Benjamin Franklin series, where a pre-revolutionary Franklin finds himself solving murders in Europe and elsewhere. This is the fifth Ben Franklin mystery.
