Bio: Richard Prather is the author of the world famous Shell Scott detective series, which has over 40,000,000 copies in print in the U.S. and many millions more in hundreds of foreign-language editions. In 1986 he was awarded the Private Eye Writers of America's Life Achievement Award for his contributions to the detective genre.

He collects books on several different life-enriching subjects and occasionally re-reads his own books with huge enjoyment, especially Strip For Murder.

Bodies in Bedlam
by Richard Prather

Shell Scott was up to his neck in guns, girls and gore. Constanza Carmocha was unarmed--that is, she didn't have a gun. She didn't need one, either. She had all the weapons that have ruined men from time immemorial--or time immoral. One man had had his throat slit because of her, another was going to die. She was surrounded by a guy who resembled a shaved ape and looked as though he could pick himself up with one hand. But the hand isn't always quicker than the private eye, and as sure as my nam... more info>>

Everybody Had A Gun
by Richard Prather

Shell Scott is not an easy guy to mistake for someone else, with his blondish hair, whitish eyebrow, grey eyes, broken nose, and missing ear tip. He's a sucker for a damsel in distress, a guy with a pistol in his pocket and a murder on his mind. When Shell is in the state of Denmark, he finds that he is dodging bullets and it seems like everyone is holding a smoking gun. Somebody is doing his best to make him the late, lamented Shell Scott, six feet under. But who would want to take a shot at su... more info>>
