His most recent collection of mysteries is Quintet: The Cases of Chase and Delacroix, published by Crippen & Landru. The next of these, The Emerald Cat Killer, will be published by St. Lupoff is the author of many books including the popular Lindsey-and-Plum mysteries. Long, short, hilarious, whimsical, dark, mysterious-they’re all Lupoffs.
Dick’s writing talents really can’t be defined by the usual means. A pit bull owner who’s just as nasty as his dog A thief who believes his father-in-law was a real Na*zi A dead-end boxer who has come back in a boxing movie A detective named Caligula Foxx who might be Nero Wolfe in drag A crooked corporal whose payoff is death Not only are the storylines original, the writing is indelibly stamped with Dick’s vision and voice. In this collection you’ll find a wide variety of humans whose conditions leave much to be desired. From the Introduction by Ed Gorman: If there’s one thing Dick Lupoff understands with perverse glee it’s the sorry state of the human condition.
