Publisher's Summary:
U.S. Navy Lieutenant Steve Craig is in one hell of a mess. Being accused of murder is bad enough, but the local police are convinced hes killed his own father. Alfred Hitchcock couldnt have conceived a more diabolical plot for Cary Grant . . . and now, for Steve Craig, the plot is about to get down and dirty.
Steves safe from the cops as long as he stays aboard his Navy ship - but the word safe isnt in his vocabulary. He slips off the vessel and vanishes into the seamy underside of the city, determined to find out who took his fathers life . . . even if it means risking his own.
He follows a trail of smoke and mirrors and sudden violence to the Brass Keys to Murder. With them, Steve will seek to unlock the terrible truth behind his fathers death . . . and an astonishing secret that will change his life - and that of the woman he loves - forever.
Ron knew well the life at sea and the world surrounding it. Not only was he the son of a naval officer, he traveled back and forth across the Pacific, plied the China coast in a working schooner and commanded an expedition aboard a four-masted ship to the Caribbean. He walked the waterfronts of countless ports, sharing stories with the colorful - and often shady - characters inhabiting them. Originally published in April 1935 under the pen name Michael Keith, Brass Keys to Murder is a direct result of those adventures.
Members Reviews:
Fascinating Look Into Being Framed!
A very short review on a cool book by a 1940s-L. Ron Hubbard, who, for those who are open-minded about such things, wrote more than just science fiction. The media tend to paint Hubbard as an unpopular hack writer who wrote only sci-fi, but they don't know their pulp history.
Galaxy Press has collected in cheap paperback form (many years ago there were leather-bound versions, a bit pricey) a great adventure tale. If you like the high seas and a bit of mystery along with some corny romantic moments then this is your story.
The plot is fairly regular and I don't want to spoil. A man's father gets murdered. The police come being led by a lieutenant who is a cross between Columbo and Elliot Ness. The guy gets accused and figures a way to get off board and find who the killer is. His fiance is distraught but stands beside her man (yay!).
It's a story of trust, distrust, intrigue, and some other wild things thrown in. Definitely makes one reach for more adventure tales by this author.
Really want to get the audio versions -- sound just like Old Time Radio. Recommended.
Great CD
Hubbard's stories are always a pleasure to me.
Brass Keys to Murder.... suspenseful!
Good to the last drop. The last drop of a clue that is in unraveling this murder mystery.
Good with rough realism and great characters that are classic examples of this era of writing.
A hair-raising race against time.
L. Ron Hubbard writes: "I started out writing for the pulps, writing the best I knew, writing for every mag on the stands, slanting as well as I could." In the "Golden Age" of pulp fiction (1930's and 1940's), there was an abundance of pulps enshrined on magazine racks. Distinct from the higher class magazines printed on expensive glossy paper, the "pulp" magazines profited from the mass appeal of the low quality pulpwood paper pages between their covers.
