Tonight we officially move into the risqué section of
this stack of paperbacks with Bang The Doll Slowly by Clyde Ames, aka Clyde Allison, aka William Knowles, aka William Knoles. (The latter, his real name; the first two are pseudonyms, the third a common misspelling.)
For the record, I take no responsibility for this purchase. It was a flea market find, found by the husband while I was in the loo. (He loves a cheesy softcore spy spoof. Me, not so much. Although I will admit to tee-hee-ing at the title when he showed it to me.)
Cover by Peter Caras
From what I gleaned from the back cover, this is the first book to feature the adventures of "canceled government project" turned private dick Brick Barnes but I have yet to be able to determine if this later evolved into a series - a la Knoles' Man From Sadisto / Agent 0008 books. If I figure it out, I'll let you know.
