<DIV><P>&quot;As far as I&#39;m concerned, Richard S. Prather was the King of the paperback P.I writers of the 60s. Shell Scott should be in the Top Ten of any readers list of favorite private eyes.&quot; --Robert J. Randisi&#160;<BR /><BR />For four decades, Richard S. Prather published over 40 works of detective fiction, most featuring his clever, cad-about-town hero, Shell Scott. Known for their arched humor, punchy dialogue, and sunny Southern California locale, the Shell Scott books represent one of the greatest private eye collections ever produced.&#160;<BR /><BR />&quot;I&#39;m Shell Scott, the Private Eye. Well, at least I have a private eye when blondes, brunettes or redhead babes are involved, and I can always spot a hot tamale. You can see why I love my work, and when I heard that Chester Drum was operating my own game on the East Coast, I was in for some ride. There&#39;s only room enough for one and Drum was working on my turf.&quot;&#160;<BR /><BR />Honored with the Life Achievement Award by the Private Eye Writers of America!&#160;<BR /><BR />&quot;(Shell Scott is) as amusingly blithe a figure as the field has seen since the Saint.&quot; --Anthony Boucher</P></DIV>
