on the Work of BRETT HALLIDAY
"In this age of private eyes with cats, funny neighbors, and relationship woes—here's to 40's thriller writer Brett Halliday, whose baffling, bullet-paced capers have come to light again.
"Halliday's books were marvels of misdirection. Red herrings, skewed motives, mistaken identities—he did everything but come to your house and bang cymbals.
"Halliday's plots are byzantine gems. This is back when mystery writers were so much smarter than you and me. Want an engrossing read? Pick this one up.
"Never heard of this book? No matter. It's been waiting patiently, poised to dazzle you with raw, ingenious storytelling. Halliday is the king of the baffler novel. Pure pleasure.
"How long can Halliday's best-selling books remain dormant, undiscovered...? The answer: not a minute longer, thanks to Hard Case Crime."
