Squeeze Play (A Noir Masters Triple Threat)

Squeeze Play (A Noir Masters Triple Threat)

Three stories for the price of one from the best-selling author of Private Detective Shell Scott.
In â€œSqueeze Playâ€ Shell Scott has to find Leroy Crane, the accountant of Wallace Hackman. A Crook in capitals, with his fat fingers in everything from dope to sudden death. He was not only ruthless but stupid, and would never have got as high in the rackets as he had except for one thing: he didn't trust any man alive. He wouldn't give you the correct time if he could help it, and he didn't even trust his right-hand man, Pretty Willis, behind his back. His complicated little hierarchy was a lot like a communist club: crooks watching crooks who in turn watched other crooks, and all reporting to the top, Hackman. And now Hackman wants Leroy too! Scott and Hackman are going to do more than just bump heads.
The short and definitely not sweet story, â€œThe Spirit of the Conventionâ€, tells the tale of one repressed little man. Who would never hurt a fly. But that all changes with a simple changing of his tie.
Shell Scott returns in â€œThe Best Motiveâ€. Scott is now looking for a lunatic that out to kill a most beautiful girl. It wasn't the cheeriest subject to be discussing in a haunted night club.
Prather won a Private Eye Writers of America lifetime achievement award in 1986. Richard S. Prather served twice as one of the directors in the board of Mystery Writers of America. Immensely popular and bestselling noir mystery writer in the 1950s, Prather's books have sold over 40 million copies.
