(The third book in the Brad Dolan Mysteries series)A novel by William Fuller
BRAD DOLAN IN A TRAP: WANTED FOR THE MURDER OF A MAN HE NEVER MET!
‘A girl, murder, high excitement!’ —Tampa Bay Times
Brad Dolan liked to eat to live, drink to relax, and sleep because he was a sack hound.
Somehow though, something always seems to go wrong ... like a war in Korea, or a restless wife in New York. Lately, he’d been down on the Florida keys, trying get some of that hot sun, and blue water they peddled in the ads.
But his luck was the same. The first night there he met a jet-action brunette name of Dinah. The next morning the cops told him her father was dead, and they had the killer. They even told him the guy’s name—Brad Dolan!
Mayhem, nicely done.’ —Knoxville Journal
‘Fuller, like John D. MacDonald, Harry Whittington, Charles Williams, Day Keene, and many others from that era, can flat-out write. Brad Dolan is a very engaging narrator/protagonist, smart, well-read, almost poetic at times, and plenty tough when he needs to be. The pace is actually fairly leisurely and the book doesn’t completely kick in right away, but getting there is still a nice ride before an even better build-up of genuine suspense.’ —James M. Reasoner in Rough Edges
