EditorThe Lowestoft Chronicle editor reviewed The Red Tassel by David Dodge for the Lancashire Post today. A snippet is below:
A globe-trotting private investigator unravels thieving, murder and local vendettas while protecting a flame-haired heiress in The Red Tassel, an atmospheric thriller set amid betrayal, violence and the chill of the Bolivian Andes.First published in hardcover by Random House in 1950 and quickly reissued as a Dell paperback, David Dodge’s third and final case for the hard-nosed Al Colby is now back in print.A California native and former accountant, Dodge earned acclaim as both a mystery novelist and travel writer. The Poor Man’s Guide to Europe proved so popular that Random House published annual editions from 1954 to 1959, and two novels reached the silver screen…To Catch a Thief, directed by Hitchcock, and Plunder of the Sun, starring Glenn Ford as Colby.”
