Hunter #1
Hunter
Life was definitely okay with the movie money from his novel and his own private island in the Delaware River. Hunter had nothing heavier on his mind than fixing the front porch, when the bad news dropped. Hunter never could say no to a friend, or a women. So when his buddy Billy Rye disappears and his girlfriend wants him back, Hunter starts nosing around, and smells some very dangerous people who also want Billy. Like a dealer who thinks that watching people get beaten up by his two-ton bodyguard is a form of physical therapy. And the two dudes in black silk suits who hit first and ask questions later. That was swell for starters. Hunter just never counted on Billy's trail leading to an unsettled score more than twenty years bad, a Congressman up to his reputation in dirt, blackmail paid in blood. Or a foxy lady lawyer hot on Hunter's case.

While very much a stereo typical pulp book of the era I think this one stands out for a couple of reasons.
First of all Eric Sauter does an amazing job of turning a quick phrase to describe a person, location or situation. The book is chock full of quirky turns of phrase that quickly fill you in on exactly how something in without bogging down the fast pace of the book.
Second, the protagonist is much more respectful of women that what you seem to find in many books of this era and the female characters are much stronger than the norm.
