Merryll Manning Is Dead Lucky

Merryll Manning tackles a killer in Hollywood in this acclaimed novel that has never before been published in America even though the rights were purchased by a leading New York publisher for no less than $10000. These rights expired in 2014. Now you can finally read the book that was thought to offer far too much competition to a leading publisher's list of mystery and detective novels and was therefore purchased so that it could be suppressed! If you enjoy a stylish fast-paced murder mystery chock-full of believable yet fascinating characters you'll love Merryll Manning Is Dead Lucky. As the reviewer for The Times commented on June 22 1990 when this hardcover/paperback book was originally published in England Ireland Australia South Africa India and New Zealand: One of this country's foremost mystery-thriller writers John Howard Reid succeeds any attempts by the reader to guess the outcome of DEAD LUCKY.
