Marvin H. Albert

Tony Rome travels from Miami to corrupt Coffin City, Florida to find out why another private detective, Rome’s surrogate father, has been savagely beaten with baseball bats and lies comatose. While investigating a corrupt police chief, a reform-minded political candidate, and the powerful crime boss who runs the city, he becomes involved with a crusading newspaperwoman intent on saving her city.

Marvin H. Albert was the author of more than a hundred books, from westerns, mysteries, and spy novels, to works of history, including “The Long White Road,” a biography of the Antarctica explorer Ernest Shackleton. Revered in France as a master of detective fiction, he wrote under many pseudonyms, including Nick Quarry, Al Conroy, Ian McAllister and Mike Barone. Ten of his books were adapted into feature films, including two of the Tony Rome novels. His acclaimed Stone Angels series, written while living in France during the latter part of his life, featured French-American detective Pete Sawyer. He died in 1996.
