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.
Rae Foley: This is one of three pen names used by Elinore Denniston. She was a writer of romantic suspense, romance and mystery novels. She produced over 50 novels and three works of nonfiction. Foley died in 1978.
Brian Garfield: Garfield has written under five pen names a well as his own. His best known book is Death Wish, made into a movie starring Charles Bronson. He wrote his first published work at the age of 18. Garfield wrote a total of 39 novels, plus many screenplays. Garfield died in 2018.
