Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine * "Not quite science fiction and suspense make a thrilling combination, and nobody works it better than Chesbro . . . Raymond Chandler meets Stephen King by way of Alice's looking glass." Playboy Although his books have been out of print for years, interest in Chesbro and his delightful creation has steadily increased among a growing legion of fans who have heard about Mongo only by word of mouth to the point where many first editions of the Mongo novels sell for hundreds of dollars. It is expected that sales will be brisk. Distributed by Ingram. For further information contact Robin Gass: APACHEBEACH@aol.com
