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:
Velda Johnston: Writer of romantic suspense, Johnston published 38 stand alone novels. She did not have any series characters. Johnston died in 1997.
Arthur Maling Not a prolific writer, Maling penned a total of 13 novels, five of which made up the Brock Potter series. The book included here is #5 of that series. Maling published his last book in 1988. Lucky Devil is the third novel in the Brock Potter series.
Michael Underwood: Michael Underwood was the pen name of British writer John Michael Evelyn, who passed away in 1992. He penned 48 novels, of which eight were stand-alone novels and the rest featured one of five recurring investigators. The largest series featured Rose Epton as the sleuth (16). Crooked Wood is the fifth book in the Nick Atwell series.
