I'm not familiar with that author. I'll check him out right now. ---- Thank you!

I AM familiar with a title called "The Scrambled Yeggs," by one of my favorite authors in the 'humorous'/hard-boiled school of detective fiction - Richard S. Prather.


WARNING!




The cover below may be offensive to anyone not familiar with 1950s/1960s pulp paperback covers. Please do not look if you are easily - or highly - offended.
