Stark House has done it again! Here in one attractive package are two noir classics by Wade Miller. “Wade Miller” was the collaborative team of Bob Wade and Bill Miller. Together they wrote some great private eye adventures featuring Max Thursday (sadly, only six books in that series). The team of Wade Miller produced 30 novels, hundreds of short stories, radio scripts, and plays. This new Stark House collection brings two of Wade Miller’s best stand-alone novels together. Some of you may remember the movie version of Kitten With a Whip from 1964 starring John Forsythe and Ann-Margret. Kiss Her Goodbye is a chase novel where the two main characters try to escape their past. If you’re in the mood for some noir fiction, try this Wade Miller collection. It’s terrific!
This looks wonderful – thanks George, I really have to get my hands on this – Stark House have been putting out some wonderful stuff of late and the Wade Miller / Whit Masterson books definitely deserve this kind of attention – thanks chum.
Sergio, you’re welcome! I’m a big fan of Stark House. They publish good books in nice packages at reasonable prices.
i’ve just gone and ordered it – just too tempting!
Sergio, you won’t be sorry. This is a very entertaining volume!
Boy, Sergio was quick on the trigger there. I’d prefer the Thursday books, but this looks good. Nice ffb today, George.
Thanks, Rick. Like you I like the Max Thursday books, too. But, I’ve enjoyed all the Wade Miller books I’ve read, either series or stand-alones.
This looks great, George. I’m in the mood for some noir. I’ll look it up at the bookstore tomorrow.
Thanks.
Beth, I really think you’ll enjoy KITTEN WITH A WHIP.
George, I’m always in the mood for noir fiction except I don’t read it often enough. I have never read Wade Miller so this is something I’ll be looking up soon.
Prashant, you can’t go wrong with any of the noir collections published by Stark House.
I like the Thursday books too. Of course Bill Crider is a huge fan of Ann-Marget in KITTEN WITH A WHIP. If the book is half as memorable it must be worth reading.
Jeff, I liked the book version of KITTEN WITH A WHIP better than the movie version. But, the book doesn’t have Ann-Margret.
I love these Stark House reprints. It’s wonderful to see the criminally-neglected Elizabeth Sanxay Holding, among others, back in print.
Now of the film had Sue Lyon instead of Ann Margaret, then, wow.
Deb, I’m hoping Patti has a FFB featuring Elizabeth Sanxay Holding as the featured writer. ESH is a very underrated writer.
Rick, Bill Crider is a fan of the film version of KITTEN WITH A WHIP.
I think the film’s script pushed a little too hard without deciding how blackmailed the Forsythe character actually felt, and while Lyon might well’ve nailed it, A-M was just a bit more fierce in her presentation. I’ll certainly believe the novel better and worth the look, and its companion, too…
I understand Crider’s cat is also a fan of the movie.
