<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Two 1960s hardboiled thrillers featuring Earl Drake, considered to be Marlowe's masterworks.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>The Name of the Game is Death</p> <p> </p> <p>He calls himself Earl Drake. That's not his real name, but it'll do. Hell, he's changed his identity so many times, it hardly matters anymore. Right now he's calling himself Chet Arnold. After the last bank robbery, after they made their escape and Bunny ended up taking most of the money with him to Florida, he figured it was time to collect. But something's happened to Bunny. So here he is in Hudson, Florida, trying to find Bunny and the money. First he finds Hazel, six feet tall, red hair, all woman. Then he meets Lucille, the local man-hungry postmaster. Finally he meets Blaze Franklin, a cop who's just about ready to kill somebody. It's one helluva situation. And that's the kind that Drake likes best.</p> <p> </p> <p>One Endless Hour</p> <p> </p> <p>Sheriff Blaze's double cross is a good one. But Drake finds Bunny and he finds the loot. Trouble is, it all blows up in his face this time. Literally. And now they've got him behind bars and covered in bandages--and under the thumb of a particular sadist named Spider Kern. The authorities think they've got a monosyllabic basket case named Chet Arnold locked up for the criminally insane. But thanks to the experimental plastic surgery treatment of Dr. Afzul, they soon have an Earl Drake who is not only armed with a new face, but a plan as well. All he needs is a gun, and it's payback time. Sweet payback time.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Beautifully tough-minded, tensely plotted, vigorous, first-rate story telling."-The New York Times Book Review "Nobody wrote tougher prose than Dan J.
