Max Brand is generally regarded as the author of superior westerns like his Destry Rides Again, but Brand also wrote the Dr. Kildare series and numerous detective stories as well. St. Martin's Press is delighted to be publishing Murder Me!, a 1937 Brand gem that has never before appeared in book form. Featuring the NYPD Team of Campbell and O'Rourke, and set in a very vivid Manhattan, Murder Me! starts with a bang as soldier of fortune Willett is approached by a millionaire who asks him to arrange a homicide - the man's own murder.
