<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Al Wheeler was Carter Brown's most popular mystery series, and these three novels from 1956 have never before been published in the U.S. Most of the early Wheelers are set against a Hollywood background, and feature a brisk pace and broad humor.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>NO HARP FOR MY ANGEL</p><p> </p><p>While in Florida on vacation, Lt. Al Wheeler tangles with--</p><p>--a redhead with green eyes who is "Nobody's girl but my own!"</p><p>--her club-owning gangster boyfriend, who is involved in some very shady business...</p><p>--and his gorilla henchman, who is seven feet of muscle and bone, just waiting for the chance to crush him to a pulp when Al becomes the decoy sent in to bring their racket down. </p><p> </p><p>BOOTY FOR A BABE</p><p> </p><p>When Lt Al Wheeler tries to solve a murder at a science fiction convention--</p><p>--he discovers a professor who wants to stop time by tricking the elusive Delfs...</p><p>--meets an intellectual gangster who wants to get his hands on the professor's <em>latest</em> invention...</p><p>--is frustrated by the generously proportioned convention organizer, who somehow manages to keep one step ahead of Al's wolfish designs.</p><p> </p><p>EVE, IT'S EXTORTION</p><p> </p><p>Which finds Lt. Al Wheeler trying to solve a hit-and-run murder involving--</p><p>--the victim's wife, who is all too glad to have lost her lush of a husband...</p><p>--the beautiful skip-tracer who tracked down the victim right before he met his untimely end...</p><p>--and her dubious boyfriend who may not be as innocent as he professes, but is certainly up to no good.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"A breezy, fun caper that doesn't disappoint...This is one all mystery loves will appreciate."--Ron Fortier, <em>Pulp Fiction Reviews</em></p><p> </p><p>"These three novels are testaments to Brown's authorial leanness... With succulent descriptions of succulent women, two-fisted action, twists and turns, and Wheeler's irrepressible attitude, there's nothing NOT to like in Brown's series about this rakish police officer."--Kristofer Upjohn, <em>Noir Journal</em></p><p> </p><p>"Like the earlier collection, these three Wheeler novels are recommended for their enduring entertainment value as well as their generous glimpse into the kinds of mystery novels that dominated the paperback spin racks of their day." --Alan Cranis, <em>Bookgasm</em></p><br>
