You might want to read Loren Estleman's THE SMILE ON THE FACE
OF THE TIGER in which Amos Walker tries to hunt down Eugene
Booth, author of PARADISE VALLEY and DEADTIME STORY, to find
out Booth has sent back the check a reprint publisher sent
him who wanted to re-release one of his titles. It is a
recommended read.
