Produktbeschreibungen
From Booklist
Hard Case Crime may be making a bigger splash with their line of pulp reprints and paperback originals, but tiny Stark House has also shown a discerning eye when it comes to worthy obscurities (Peter Rabe's Murder Me for Nickels/Benny Muscles In, 2005). Keene (born Gunard Hjertstedt) was a prolific, workmanlike writer whose better books boast well-made stories, deft pacing, and sly humor. In Framed in Guilt, Keene reworks a hoary chestnut of a plot--a successful screenwriter wakes up from a bender to find himself the chief suspect in a murder he can't remember--and delivers it with enough elan to make us forget the cliches. My Flesh Is Sweet features another wrongly accused scribe--this one a penniless pulp writer with literary ambitions--but has a rip-roaring potboiler of a plot that is almost epic by the standards of the genre. Interestingly, the aforementioned Hard Case Crime also recently reprinted a Keene novel (Home Is the Sailor, 2005). Can dueling Rabes be far behind? Keir Graff

1949 Pulp Reprint Delivers the Goods Today
9. August 2007
Format:Taschenbuch
Day Keene (Gunard Hjertstedt), a pal and contemporary of such pulp
masters as Harry Whittington, published FRAMED IN GUILT (William Morrow, 1949) before his prolific string of remarkable crime fiction titles in the subsequent decade. FRAMED is set in post-war sultry and decadent Hollywood.
Bob Stanton, a German POW and film script writer, is accused of murdering Grace Turner, an English lady who knew Bob while he was still stationed in England. Her attempt to blackmail him goes awry. Having gone on a rare binger, Bob fails to recall what happened the fateful night Grace is shot.
Luckily, Bob's coterie helps him piece it all together. The most colorful is a hulking Native American simply named Hi Lo. During this chaos, Bob is desperate to finish his next movie script if just to pay the mounting bills his girl, a starlet named Joy Parnell, keeps running up. Interestingly, an early reference in FRAMED is made to the harrowing Black Dahlia murder.
This is an accessible, entertaining novel displaying Keene's puckish wit, knowledgeable setting, and quippy dialogue. FRAMED is recommended as an authentic introduction to reading the 1950s pulp fiction writing.
