- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Shell Scott has to figure out who is blackmailing 3 Hollywood stars. The suspects are 2 rival gang bosses, each with his own deadly crew of killers (with names like Viper and Gangrene). Since this is a Shell Scott case, our hero finds himself sneaking a python into a hospital room, framed for the murder of one boss, and kidnapping the other boss from his bedroom. The reveal is done in a style copied and perfected by the Mission Impossible tv show. All in all, a pretty good story if you're a Scott fan.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Another good novel by Mr. Prather. It seems that for whatever reason, Shell Scott becomes more of a detective than a womanizer when his adventures are chronicled under the Penguin name, although this copy, this first edition isTOR. Whatever, Shell meets a woman client who is just absolutely exciting to him (that means she is breathing), and he helps find her for her father, who turns out to be a pretty good old geezer, for a criminal.
