Peter Bragg
Created by Jack Lynch

A tough San Francisco gumshoe, very much at times in the Hammett mold, PETER BRAGG appeared in a string of paperback originals. Unfortunately, later books in the series were packaged as, and subsequently dismissed, as Men's Adventure, as the publisher tried to cash in, utilizing some pretty tacky artwork not all that disimiliar from Mack Bolan, The Destroyer, The Exterminator, etc., etc.

Unfortunate, because the books were damn good, featuring a tough, but believable hero, and narrated in a straight, unpretentious manner, not unlike the work of Hammett himself.

1982's The Missing and the Dead was nominated for a Shamus, and Pieces of Death, from later that same year, was nominated for an Edgar.
