Quinny Hite
Created by Richrd Burke (1886 --)

QUINNY HITE? How the hell did this guy ever survive childhood?

But I guess he did survive, because he's now an ex-cop turned derby-wearing private dick tromping down the mean streets of New York City. And he has a soft spot for his best gal, Joan, whom he hopes to marry some day.

The first novel in the series, The Dead Take No bows, was filmed as Dressed To Kill, a Mike Shayne B-flick.

Author Burke was born in Los Angeles and worked for a while as a newspaperman.

FUN WITH COVERS

Reader Bruce Nordstrom writes:

Just visiting, and wonder if you can help with some info.

I bought a really beautiful old paperback the other day--"Here Lies the Body," by Richard Burke. Published by Popular Library, (310) January, 1951. And I am trying to find out who drew this cover (that's it up there). Do you know who drew this, or how I can find out?"

Well, folks, any ideas? If so, feel free to contact Bruce at Ccjune@aol.com.
