| Publisher Description: For more than three decades, award-winning author Bill Pronzini has been creating some of the finest writing of the West. Collected here, for the first time in paperback, are eight stories featuring one of his most interesting characters--John Frederick Quincannon, a U.S. Secret Service agent turned private detective. Quincannon's cases take him from the Mojave Desert to San Francisco's unsavory Barbary Coast. With the help of innumerable disguises--and his beautiful and clever partner, Sabina Carpenter--Quincannon takes on ruthless counterfeiters, legendary gamblers and notorious assassins. But with enemies at every turn, even the best sleuth may find himself in a deadly trap. |
