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:
Owen Sela: Born in Ceylon, currently living in Canada, Sela has been acclaimed for his writng of spy fiction. Sela published 12 novels between 1972 and 1995, and appears to be retired from writing.
Hildegrade Dolson: Along with being a magazine and advertising writer for 50 years, Dolson wrote 15 books of mystery, humor and nonfiction history. Dolson died in 1981. Beauty Sleep is Dolson's penultimate book.
John Ball: Ball was best known for writing a series featuring Virgil Tibbs, beginning with In the Heat of the Night. There were seven novels in that series, plus three more featuring Jack Tallon, and nine stand-alone novels. Ball also worked as a broadcaster, daily columnist, science writer, and music critic. Ball died in 1988. Polioce Chief is the first Jack Tallon novel.
