Description

Shell Scott. He's a guy with a pistol in his pocket and murder on his mind. The crime world's public enemy number one, this Casanova is a sucker for a damsel in distress. When a pair of lovely legs saunters into his office, he can't help but take the job, even when the case is a killer. Martinique was a cool, creamy piece of dynamite with a ten-second fuse and an I.Q. around one hundred sixty. Those were numbers Shell Scott liked to play--except in her case they seemed to add up to murder.

I beleive it is my latent schizophrenia that makes me keep reading prather. This particular tale, though, had more characterization and plotting in it thanusual, and far less womanizing. it is the womanizing that probably hooked me in the 19540s and 1960s. Now, at 67, it simply bores me. As descriptive as he is, Prather's woman are all one singular organism -- equal vaginas, all. that's why he will probably never earn more than a 4-star rating from me.
