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 $10,000. 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.
