About this title

Review:

Praise for "Bye Bye, Baby"

"A whirlwind tour of the story surrounding Marilyn Monroe's untimely demise as it might have been covered in the garish pages of "Confidential "magazine, or by "TMZ "for that matter, with more grit than George Baxt's Hollywood mysteries." "--Library Journal "

"Collins convincingly portrays the real-life players in the drama, who include Jimmy Hoffa and Frank Sinatra. Readers with a taste for hard-boiled roman a clef will hope that more Heller is in the offing."
"--Publishers Weekly "

"A Hollywood novel that's more interesting than the true story--if, in fact, it's not what really happened anyway. Collins's twist on the American mystery simply can't be put down." "--RT Book Reviews "

"Max Allan Collins can lay claim to being the master of true-crime fiction...a seamless juxtaposition of narrative cunning and historical cross-referencing." --"Chicago Magazine"

Praise for "Target Lancer"

""Target Lancer" is a fresh treatment of the runup to the most significant single event of the twentieth century, and Nate Heller is the perfect protagonist to lead us through it. Max Allan Collins has hit a home run." --Mike Dennis
""Target Lancer" may well reinvigorate the conspiracy theory arguments around the assassination of JFK. It's another winner for Max Allan Collins and his Nathan Heller series and an important historical novel about the Kennedy era." --Mystery Maven Blog
