Three new eBooks from Raoul Whitfield
We’ve just added three new eBooks by Raoul Whitfield to our collection! We’ve got his debut novel, Green Ice, as well as Death in a Bowl and The Virgin Kills, all three featuring an introduction by Boris Dralyuk.
Considered by many to be Whitfield’s masterpiece, Green Ice tells the story of a man who willfully goes to prison for 
a crime he didn’t commit. When he gets out of Sing Sing, people in his life start dying, and it seems someone is determined to frame the innocent ex-con. The man must tread lightly if he’s going to both avoid prison and find the true killer.
In Death in a Bowl, a hard-drinking private investigator searches for the man who killed a conductor in the middle of the famed Hollywood Bowl, in front of twenty thousand people. As he searches for a killer and motive, Ben Jardinn embarks on a trail twisting into dark and unexpected places.
In The Virgin Kills, an eccentric millionaire takes his yacht and an unlikely group of guests to watch a boat race. The host has a lot of money riding on the competition, and so, when one of the contestants dies under mysterious circumstances, people aboard the yacht begin to talk. But then they start dying off as well, one by one…
A pioneer of hard-boiled 1930s detective fiction, Raoul Whitfield contributed often to the legendary pulp magazine Black Mask. His writing is the definition of Golden Age noir, and in his time his works were considered to be more realistic than those of his more famous contemporaries. You can learn more about Whitfield, and see the eBooks we offer, on his author page.
