Murder Begets Murder - Paperback

by Howard Pearlstein (Introduction by), Gavin L. O'Keefe (Illustrator), James Corbett (Author)

Ramble House, in a fit of perverse nostalgia, decided to bring back three action-packed novels by James Corbett all at once, and MURDER BEGETS MURDER is the mystery of the group. The other two are aeroplane thrillers. Corbett has a dodgy reputation among the old writers and with that in mind, Bay Area curmudgeon and historian Howard Pearlstein introduces the book with a plea for understanding. But read for yourself. This was the author's 43rd (and last book), published in 1951.

Author Biography

James Corbett's novel THE MERRIVALE MYSTERY merited a large mention in Bill Pronzini's SON OF GUN IN CHEEK, but were all of his novels "alternate"? Corbett wrote 43 books and survived for many years in the pulp and mystery fields and Howard Pearlstein defends him in the introduction.
