About the Author:
Les Roberts came to mystery writing after twenty-four years in Hollywood, having written and/or produced more than 2,500 half hours of network and syndicated television. He was the first producer and head writer of The Hollywood Squares, and has written for The Lucy Show, The Andy Griffith Show, The Jackie Gleason Show and The Man From U.N.C.L.E, among others.
From Publishers Weekly:
A movie actor and moonlighting private eye called Saxon is the narrator of Roberts's debut. Machismo, sex, racy dialogueall the trappingsdefine the thriller but do not a Sam Spade make. Saxon moves around Los Angeles and its environs when beautiful Tori Weldon hires him to protect her father, author Buck Weldon. A millionaire on earnings from crime fiction he calls trash, Weldon has also created enmity; someone wants to kills him. The detective questions an embezzling movie producer, prototype for a Weldon work-in-progress; his former son-in-law, whom he beat severely for battering Tori; the publisher who stole Weldon's royalties; and others. During the investigation, the writer's lover dies instantly from poisoned cocaine that she snuffs before he does, the latest failed attempt to murder him. One of the novel's weaknesses is that the police take no steps against Weldon in the case, although he and the woman were alone in his house. Another is Saxon's failure to pick up the flaming clue in the early chapters.
