February 01, 2002
Another fine entry in the Nate Heller universe. This is one of the great unsolved cases in the history of crime. What more could you want? A beautiful girl horribly murdered and mutilated. A beautiful girl with a sordid and ugly past. Famous people including movie stars and such. True this sound like a pure novel, but it is based on research of a real crime. Learn what life was like in another... more

By: Max Allan Collins
Publisher: Signet
February 06, 2001
Mystery novel based on the Lindbergh kidnapping case, populated with real-life characters like Eliot Ness and Al Capone, as well as the Lindberghs.
Charles Lindbergh does not fair well here, with his micro-mismanaging of the investigation, and the New Jersey State Police come in for a fair share of abuse for their incompetence.
Collins assertion is that the kidnapping was... more

| 4. Chicago Confidential (Mysteries & Horror) | 
|
By: Max Allan Collins
Publisher: Signet
May 06, 2003
Max Allan Collins' fictional PI Nate Heller narrates this 1950 period piece based in Chicago with short sojourns to Los Angeles, Washington DC and Acapulco. Unlike some other Nate Heller novels, Chicago Confidential is not about a specific high profile crime. Rather, as Collins himself points out in the afterword, it's about "a famous time in crime". That is to say those long ago weeks and months... more

Most of the Nate Heller books are good. This one is very good. I enjoy the characters and the ties to history. Basically, a Forrest Gump/Spencer type of read... more

| 9. The Titanic Murders | 
|
By: Max Allan Collins
Publisher: Berkley
April 01, 1999
Reading this was akin to drinking a cocktail compounded of cardboard, glue, and tap water. It is lifeless, unimaginative, plodding, predictable, and slow. How anyone could make the Titanic tragedy and a cast of potentially fascinating characters into something this boring is amazing. Futrelle's shortest and slightest "Thinking Machine" story has twice the plot and intelligence of this achingly dull... more

2006-08
In September 2008 I deployed to Baghdad, Iraq. While deployed to Iraq, I found a book in a stack of books that had been sent here for us to read called "The Last Quarry" by Max Allan Collins. I had never heard of the author before, and normally didn't read this style of book, but after reading the back cover and part of the first chapter I decided I was bored enough to read almost anything and I... more
