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:
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. His last novel (this one!) was the sixth in the Ben Franklin series and I guess making it into the Detective Book Club was just the thing to retire on.
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 eighth Milan Jacovich novel.
M. C. Beaton: One of seven pen names used by Marion Chesney. Under this name, she released her two longest mystery series, both containing 34 books. These were the well known Hamish Macbeth series and the even more well known Agatha Raisin series. Along with these 68 books, Chesney, under one name or another, has published over 160 additional titles. This is the sixth Agatha Raisin novel.
