Publisher's Summary:

This one was for keeps.

It started the night private eye Ed Rivers went to the rescue of a damsel in distress and almost ended up at the bottom of Tampa Bay.

Ed knew who was lurking behind him. His name was Russ Leppert. Russ liked to kill people. Not for any real reason - just because he liked it.

Then there was the man who had once been the business of hustling pornographic stag movies. He wanted to get back into the racket again, in a big way.

And, of course, the middle-aged Dixieland musician named Straight Stuff Delaney.

Was Straight Stuff blowing for kicks - or merely furnishing the fanfares for other murders to come?

Great Classic Pulp Detective Novel

Talmadge Powell wrote a number of pulp novels and stories in the late 50's & early 60's. Among his work are five novels featuring PI Ed Rivers, a tough hardhreaded bear of a man who worked out of an office in Tampa, partcularly Tampaâs Ybor City.

The story is well written and nicely paced. There are few if any wasted words. I picked up three of Powell's books last month and I wish I'd picked up several more.

The story begins with Rivers glancing out of his apartment window and spying a gorgeous scantily clad woman in another building. She was either beckoning him over or taking ill. In any case, Rivers investigates and ends up in a tangle with a crazed killer stalking him and the local syndicate looking to shut him down.

Terrific book filled with nonstop action. Highly recommended.
