title: The Case of the Canny Killer
author: Harry Stephen Keeler
description: Never heard of Harry Stephen Keeler? Don't feel alone. He's America's most forgotten author, victim of a plot by publishers to weed out all writers who don't write swift, easy-to-read, dumbed-down prose for the masses. Harry wrote because he enjoyed it and early on developed a style all his own. He devised incredibly convoluted plots involving ethnic characters (who speak in outrageous dialect), pop culture of the 30s and 40s, and his favorite MacGuffin: skulls. Modern-day writers have their DNA evidence; Harry preferred skulls. Once you read a Keeler, you're never quite the same, and now -- thanks to Ramble House -- you can read all you want. And more! Every one of Keeler's 90+ novels has been brought back into print by Ramble House, including at least 20 titles that were never published before in English.

  way of fife, but that of a retiree doesn't suit him. He has always devoted
  himself to justice, and he is still drawn towards protecting - or avenging
  those whom the law has failed.
  
  When he left the UPD Bosch took a file with him - the case of a film
  production assistant murdered four years earlier during a $2 million robbery
  on a movie set. The UPD - now operating under post 9/11 rules - think the
  stolen money was used to finance a terrorist training camp. Thoughts of the
  original murder victim are tost in the federal zeal, and when it seems the
  killer will be set free to aid the feds' terrorist hunt, Bosch quickly finds
  himself in c
