About the Book

If you love a good, juicy murder mystery, you'll enjoy MURDER! The 25 Most Intriguing Private Eyes in Books, Movies and TV: Their Lives, Cases, Dives, Digs, Drives & Drinks. This is the new book by award-winning writer Lan Sluder, author of more than 20 books, who delivers the good stuff on 25 of the most awesome private detectives in history, from Edgar Allan Poe's Auguste Dupin -- who appeared in the first detective story "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" -- to the latest thriller by Sue Grafton. Which mystery writer had the highest IQ, estimated at more than 180? Is Travis McGee's 1936 Rolls-Royce pickup the coolest ride of any PI? Where exactly in San Francisco did Sam Spade live? What detective has appeared in more movies than any other? What cocktail did Miss Jane Marple like to drink? What is the murder capital of America (hint: it's not Chicago). Which tough guy detective had at one time seven of the 10 best-selling novels in history? Who is the best-selling mystery author of all time? Whether you like "cozies" or hardboiled and noir detective stores or locked door puzzle mysteries, you find something interesting in this new 70,000-word guide to 25 great private detectives, not just in books but also in television and film.
