<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A hardboiled detective mystery from 1952, originally published by Gold Medal Books under the author's pseudonym, "Lee Roberts."<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>LITTLE SISTER</p><p>When Vivian Prosper tries to hire Brice to keep her younger sister from marrying young Arthur Spotiswood, he's not sure he wants to take the case. After all, Linda is almost 18, and should be free to marry whomever she wants. But then Linda's car appears at the Prosper door with a dead body in the trunk, and Brice reconsiders.</p><p>Vivian's stepfather tries to bluster him away, but there is too much at stake here for Brice to just walk. There's Vivian, for one--a cool beauty with a fiery heart. And Linda, willing to throw herself at any man she meets. But who is the man in the trunk? Who were the men seen in the café with Linda the night before? And why is someone working so hard to scare him off the case? </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"His characters are all believable people; he had a nice, low-key style; his descriptions and sense-of-place are generally excellent; his scenes of violence are almost always understated and told with distaste for the mangling of human flesh... But above all he was - and still is - readable, in the best sense of that term."--Bill Pronzini, <em>Mystery Scene</em> </p><p> </p><p>"Bob Martin was a very popular writer in his day... Quality-wise, I would say he wrote as well as early Ross Macdonald and John D. MacDonald... His most successful novel appears to have been <em>Little Sister </em>[which] went through six U.S. printings." --Jim Felton, <em>Mystery*File</em></p><br>
