Cialis Premature

Cialis premature, This being the last column for September, I could not pass up using that Big Star song for the title. Plus, all three books not only share the same theme of women, but also the same author: Carter Brown. Mainly because I can fly through his books in no time flat, cialis premature. (Fun fact: Put together, all three books still come under the page count for the first book of next week's column.) So let's have fun with my favorite Australian author who likes to write about the dames, all featuring great covers from Robert McGinnis.

ZELDA Cialis premature, by Carter Brown — Another in the Rick Holman series that all take place in the glitzy world of Hollywood, this 1961 novel actually has more to do with an Agatha Christie motif than the globetrotting, hard drinking and constant bedding that usually goes on.

Rick is called into service by sex-symbol actress Zelda Roxanne, but he has no idea why. Still, a job is a job, cialis premature. Once he arrives, he is given only very basic information, that a meeting is about to take place with some of the people involved being her ex-husbands. Cialis premature, Zelda's great scheme is that she wants to make a movie of her life and needs money to be invested. If you can't see what Zelda really has going on, you must be new to the world of crime fiction. Here's a hint: It's the third word at the top of this post, cialis premature.

Of course, there is always one who's a stick in the mud. Cialis premature, This stick's name is Harry Tighe, a former big shot on Broadway who can only produce a Bloody Mary nowadays. He sees Zelda for what she is and flat out says no. Well, he should have said yes, since later in the evening, his head is caved in. But who is the killer. All the people there have their own reasons. It's up to Rick to figure it all out before they call the police, since everyone wants to keep it all hush-hush.

The ending is definitely one of the coldest I've read in all of Brown's books. It's no Donald Hamilton-type cold, but a little Helm runs through Holman. The whole of the novel is set in Zelda's rented home and is told within a few hours. It's well worth the whole hour it took to read, but be careful when buying any Brown book. They are fun to read; just don't overpay or else you will feel like a dupe.

THE PASSIONATE PAGAN by Carter Brown — What starts out very promising comes up real short in this 1963 effort. Danny Boyd is a New York City private eye who left absolutely no impression on me as a reader. A woman named Laka Tong comes to his office with a dangerous proposition: to kill a man named Jonthan Cook, who has done her family wrong.

Well, that is what Tong claims. Boyd turns down her lucrative offer and even does the right thing in tracking Cook down over the phone to warn him. It's then that Boyd receives a call saying not to bother with Cook, because someone else is going to take up Tong's offer. So Boyd rushes over to protect him.

This all builds up in the first pages, but once in the hotel room and certain discoveries are made, it starts going downhill fast, moving into your typical mob boss out for his own good and thinks of Boyd as a pest. Boyd confronts Tong about the whole affair and the real reason behind it. In one simple word: heroin. I know, big surprise, right.

There are plenty of other Brown books out there to grab before this one. It's just not that engaging and will lose your interest, even with the short length. Can't win them all, and like the previous novel, the hero really doesn't do much once the case is closed, except get a check to keep his mouth shut.

SEIDLITZ AND THE SUPER-SPY by Carter Brown — Closing out my tribute to Brown and the women who populate his work is this 1967 entry in the Mavis Seidlitz series. Now I've read a few other Mavis books, but this one just comes out and says exactly what I thought for a while: that Mavis is essentially Jayne Mansfield, right down to the measurements and ditz. Now that I have that in my mind while reading, it becomes apparent why men just drop to their knees when she is around.

Mavis is on a vacation to Rome, France, but ends up in Rome, Italy, where she ends up in a world of international intrigue, all by accident. In her first few hours in town, the man she meets who she thought was peeping at her through the window is actually a spy keeping tabs on an oil-rich prince. As soon as Mavis can get out of her bra, the spy is shot right in front of her by a sniper.

Now she's trapped in a world where she has no idea who is playing whom, especially when she meets the prince who only wants to be called Harry and has plans for her, which involve taking her to an orgy. Mavis is contacted by the corpse's former employers who want to use her as a bait. What is a busty blonde detective to do on her vacation. It all builds up into a three-page explanation and body count, where not everybody is who they say they are.

That's nothing new for Brown. The story is very much trying to capture the spy craze that was hitting its peak at this point, with James Bond being all the rage. It's light and fun, with plenty of sexual overtones to titillate the masses, but is super-tame in this age. If I wanted long-winded storytelling, there are plenty of other books I could have grabbed, but I wanted just some stupid fun, which this book provides.

Next time: little Lebowski achievers. —Bruce Grossman
