Today marks this blogs 5th anniversary
This year, instead of rehashing the two book titles that got me started enjoying reading mysteries and spy stories. I will highlight the introduction of the characters of my favorite author, Mr Carter Brown. He brought into the world numerous characters with his stories and novelettes. He would settle on a handful of reoccurring characters, seven to be exact. His most famous would be Police Lieutenant Al Wheeler, in which he would appear from 1955 until 1984.
Al Wheeler (1955-1984)
Police Lieutenant in Pine City California
Danny Boyd (1957-1984)
New York City Private Eye that moves to California later in the series
Rick Holman (1961-1984)
Hollywood Trouble Shooter
Mavis Seidlitz (1955-1974)
Blonde private investigator with Gracie Allen tendencies
Randal Robert (1971-1976)
Lawyer
Paul Donovan (1974-1979)
Millionaire Adventurer
Larry Baker (1955-1975)
TV Gag Writer with his partner Boris Sivka
Off to another year
Hi, I wondered if you could tell me if there are any Carter Brown ebooks available. I'm just starting to read him, and am having trouble finding any. Everything seems to be out of print. And though I love the various cover treatments his books have received over the years, trying to pick them up second-hand at this point seems a bit pricey. I'd just like to get a couple under my belt and see if I like his work--any suggestions?
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on five years, Scott. Thanks for highlighting Carter Brown's protagonists.
