"The day the fur-bearing, gun-bearing blonde said, 'Strip, Noon. Take of all your clothes!' was the dizziest day of my private-eye life. The day I really got mixed up in the case of the Crazy Mixed-Up Corpse. But I didn't really start off as a fugitive from a nudist colony."--Ed Noon, Private Eye

ED NOON SERIES

The Adventures of Ed Noon, Private Eye, span over 30 novels written between 1953 and 1990. Noon starts out dirt poor with a tiny office in Midtown Manhattan (his "Mouse Auditorium") but success moves him to better digs, a lovely secretary (Melissa Mercer) and, eventually, the most important client of all: the President of the United States. The series concludes with a daring turn toward science fiction in the last two novels. Through it all, the wisecracking Noon is consistent: a movie and baseball-obsessed romantic who always fights the good fight. And, more often than not, wins.
