About This Item
NY: Saint Martin's Press, 1998. 1st edition, November 1998, so stated with complete number line beginning with 1. Fine in fine dust jacket, not price clipped, in protective mylar cover. "Nolan, best known for Logan's Run (1976) as well as his two Edgar Allan Poe Special Awards from the Mystery Writers of America, is also making a mark with his Black Mask novels. This third effort in his new series is narrated by Perry Mason creator Erle Stanley Gardner and features those other detective-fiction icons, Dashiel Hammett and Raymond Chandler. Setting his novel in Hollywood in the late 1930s, Nolan has also thrown in Mae West, Gloria Swanson, and auto-racing legend Barney Oldfield, as Gardner attempts to prove his innocence in the murders of a former sweetheart and her singing-star husband. An experienced trial lawyer before devoting himself full time to writing, Gardner serves as his own defense counsel with Hammett and Chandler helping with the gumshoe work. A clever mix of fact and fiction, veteran who-why-and-how-dunit fans will have as much fun reading this one as Nolan does when writing about the Black Mask boys" -- BOOKLIST. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. Book.
