The Big Bundle

“Superb… Collins again artfully uses a real-life crime, one now obscure but headline-making in the 1950s, as the springboard for a crackerjack plot. This is another standout in a consistently good series.“Publishers Weekly, Starred Review“An ambience-rich crime story that connects power brokers and lowlifes in an aromatic stew as sleazy as it is irresistible.“Booklist“The Big Bundle is classic Max Collins, that alone should have you pre-ordering it. Of all his Heller novels to date, this one will leave you feeling as if you’d been sucker punched.“Pulp Fiction Reviews“Entertainingly detailed…This case unfolds…like a maze of Midwestern fleshpots.“Kirkus Reviews“The Big Bundle is a story about a rough-and-tumble case that wraps all of that together, with Heller at the helm, getting the ladies and getting beat up. It doesn’t get much more fun - and cringeworthy - than this.“BookReporterPraise for the author:Nathan Heller is the perfect private eye.-New York Daily NewsCollins has an outwardly artless style that conceals a great deal of art. -New York TimesA unique private eye series with a believable, enduring hard-boiled hero.-Los Angeles TimesThe master of true-crime fiction. -Chicago MagazineCollins has not only devised an original take on what may well be the most-written-about crime in history but also made Heller’s role in the case plausible.-Publishers Weekly on Target LancerTarget Lancer brings us a different, fact-based assassination scenario, eerily paralleling the Dealey Plaza nightmare. -Kirkus Reviews on Target LancerCollins spins a fascinating tale with appearances by Jack Ruby, Jimmy Hoffa, and Bobby Kennedy. Gripping from the get-go, this will satisfy both Heller fans and assassination wonks ever eager for a new spin on the story. -Booklist on Target Lancer
