<<Gee, the first four western titles sound cheap! I am
nearly tempted to get one of them although I hate the
genre.>>
Get them, they're great. His Peace Marshal is a classic of
sorts.
On my "to be read some day" pile I have his Brothers of
Silence, in a Detective Book Club triple-decker that also
includes And One Cried Murder by Lee Thayer and Old Students
Never Die by Ivan T. Ross. These two go in the "never to be
read" category.
Here's the Gruber blurb:
Charles Tancred, successful author, retired army officer, and
expert on Ancient Rome, receives a mysterious note from the
past. It recalls a war-torn night spent in a Trappist
monastery, a mysterious "Ambrose" who never was a Trappist,
and the treasure trove of Attila the Hun. The rich splendor
of ancient Europe is ready to be dug up -- and only Tancred
know the location. He also knows that the fraudulent
"Brother" Ambrose would *kill him* for this knowledge.
It sounds enticing, doesn't it?
Regards, and apologies for all this foolery.
