One of my favorite Gault's is sometimes overlooked because it
was published
under the pseudonym of Roney Scott. The book is called
SHAKEDOWN, and it
is the first appearance of the name Joe Puma, although the
later Puma is a
much different character. However, in SHAKEDOWN, Gault
creates a near
classic noir tale of a P. I. so corrupt that we cannot tell
whose side he
is on. It is great.
Besides all that, Gault was from Milwaukee. Best, GWN.
