The Shell Scott Sampler — Richard S. Prather

Shell Scott finds himself pressed up against seductive women in deadly situations like no other hard-boiled L.A. sleuth. This collection of five adventures delivers all the action and excitement Shell Scott readers know to anticipate. Follow him through entanglements with Hollywood killers, murderous thieves, and more gorgeous women than his pistol can handle--all at the same time! It's the perfect primer for one of sleuthing's most persistent and enduring character. The Shell Scott Sampler is the 36th book in the Shell Scott Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.
