Description
A long-lost crime novel from science fiction writer Robert Silverberg is now available for the first time in over 60 years. The Hot Beat tells the story of Bob McKay, a former LA music star who faces execution for a crime he didn't commit. In this gripping tale, McKay's life takes a deadly turn when one of his associates is found strangled. With his reputation in tatters and his freedom hanging by a thread, McKay must rely on the help of a starlet and a sympathetic newspaper columnist to clear his name before it's too late. Featuring a new introduction by the author and three bonus stories from Guilty and Trapped, this book offers readers a trip back to the pulp era. Published under the pen name "Stan Vincent" in 1960, The Hot Beat has been rediscovered and is now available for readers to enjoy.
