Rusty Forbes
Created by Milton K. Ozaki (1913-1989)

RUSTY FORBES was yet another of Milton Ozaki's hard-boiled (some might say over-boiled, given the cheese quotient) Chicago eyes. Others include Max Keene, Carl Good and Carl Guard, the latter two bearing a particularly striking resemblance to each other.

Milton Ozaki was a Chicago newspaperman, artist, tax attorney and beauty salon operator who turned to writing crime fiction after World War II, and gave us a couple of dozen hard-boiled romps, all but two of them paperback originals, and all of them full of enough sex, violence and jaw-dropping prose to fulfill all your daily cheese requirements.
