: I've read all the Shell Scott novels but none of Prather's
other
: work. (There's not much non-Scott stuff, a couple of novels
and
: maybe some short stories). The funniest PI novel I ever
read was
: Prather's _Strip For Murder_.
Was that the one set in a nudist camp?
Here are some of the Shell Scott titles listed inside _Dagger
of
Flesh_(!), which isn't a Scott: _Darling, It's Death_,
_Always Leave
'Em Dying_, _Three's a Shroud_, _Take a Murder, Darling_,
_Have Gat -
Will Travel_, _The Scrambled Yeggs_, _Dig That Crazy Grave_,
_The
Wailing Frail_, _Slab Happy_ and _Kill the Clown_. The man
had a way
with titles.
_Everybody Had a Gun_ was a lot of fun. I'm going to pick up
any
other Prather books I see.
