Autore di The Ever-Loving Blues
Sull'Autore
Carter Brown, the pseudonym of Alan Geoffrey Yates, was born in London and educated at schools in Essex. From 1942 to 1946 he served in the Royal Navy as a lieutenant. After the war he worked as a sound recordist at Gaumont-British Films for two years and then moved to Australia in 1948.That same mostra altro year he became an Australian citizen. Before deciding to write exclusively in 1953, he was a salesman in Sydney and a public relations staff member at Quatas Empire Airways. His early books were intended for Australian audiences, but when the Carter Brown series was picked up by the New American Library, he was discovered by Americans. Yates wrote crime, horror stories, and westerns under the pen name of Tex Conrad. For the magazine Thrills Incorporated he co-wrote tales with G.C. Bleek, but his major work in science fiction was Coriolanus The Chariot!, a story about illusions, paranoia, and a toxic game. Soon Yates started to concentrate on crime fiction, producing a flood of books: in 1953 he published Venus Unarmed, The Lady Is Chased, The Frame Is Beautiful, Fraulein Is Female, Wreath for Rebecca, The Black Widow, Weeps, and The Penhouse Passout. In 1958 he published a novel under his own name, The Cold, Dark Hours, and in 1966 he penned the first novels written as Caroline Farr. Under the name Carter Brown, Yates wrote about 150 crime stories. His last books appeared in the early 1980s. He died on May 5, 1985. (Bowker Author Biography) mostra meno

The singer was wearing a turquoise silk-knit suit that emphasized the deep thrust of her breasts and the full curve of her hips. Her midnight-blue hair cascaded over her shoulders wildly, and her big green eyes shone with a kind of luminous passion. [pg.47]
The points this novel scores were that it was a quick and easy read, the male gaze in this book was so intense as to become comedic, the mystery is not a very good one (it is pretty obvious who the bad players are as soon as you meet them), and I found the era of its setting, at least in my head, added to the kitschiness of the story. I also enjoyed that there were some traditional detective genre fisticuffs and gunplay. The story became as sexually stimulating as possible without crossing the line into sex when the story would otherwise get boring or when the opportunity arose. All-in-all I would recommend this one if you’re in the mood for a sleazy detective story.
“Okay, Poopsie.” She sauntered out of the room and the close-up view of her undulating bikinied bottom was an erotic symphony all by itself. [pg. 122]… (altro)
