For free today, the first Ed Noon private eye book written by legendary author Michael Avallone. Haven't read this one myself, though I have read other Ed Noon books, and am looking forward to this one. It's already loaded up on my Kindle.
"It's like this. You've been alive about thirty years, been
all over the world, know your way around the toughest, biggest cities. You're no
pushover. You've had lead dug out of your shoulders, fractured a leg here, and
broken an arm there. You're tough, see? No lily-of-the-valley. A real hard guy.
And yet with
all that, you can be dumb. Real dumb. Like when you shoot off your mouth just because you have a gun in your pocket." --Ed Noon, Private Eye
Enter Ed Noon on the world scene. The tallest burlesque queen in the universe hires Noon to find her even taller lover, who has vanished under strange circumstances. He turns up stabbed and dead on the steps of the Museum of Natural History, and sets Noon on a twisted murderous missing diamond-encrusted trail that ultimately leads to the Statue of Liberty. Noon meets Lt. Mike Monks of NY’s Homicide Dept who will become not only a Captain, but also Noon’s greatest ally and friend over the next four decades.
Ed Noon Series:
The Adventures of Ed Noon, Private Eye, spanning over 30 novels written between 1953 and 1990. Noon starts out dirt poor with a tiny office in Midtown Manhattan (his “Mouse Auditorium”) but success moves him to better digs, with a lovely secretary (Melissa Mercer) and, eventually, the most important client of all: the President of the United States. The series concludes with a daring turn towards science fiction in the last two novels. Through it all, the wisecracking Noon is consistent: a movie and baseball-obsessed romantic who always fights the good fight. And, more often than not, wins.
