I'm overdue, but here's still something on Michael Shayne.
During the Christmas holidays, I had a chance to check some
book stores and found a Mike Shayne novel called "Count
Backwards to Zero".
It's from 1971 and the back cover says: "A pleasure cruise
had become a trip into terror by the time Mike Shayne boarded
the Queen Elizabeth II. A brilliant English scientist sat
drunk in the bar waiting for death. A beautiful, sexy girl
kept popping up very much alive in other people's beds. And a
shadow crew of killers haunted the corridors, serving the
passengers their daily ration of murder. The storm warnings
were up, the chips were down - and only Mike Shayne could
steer the great liner off a disaster course." And the blurb:
"Mike Shayne, the coolest private eye of them all, swings
into red hot action in a great new case of mystery and
mayhem." Anyone know who wrote the book in question?
Happy New Year!
