Speaking of Dean Koontz’s Frankenstein books, he’s plotted them, but isn’t writing them by himself. One of his collaborators (on the not-yet-released third book in the series) is crime author Ed Gorman, who I bring up because he’s got a new column at Bookgasm called “What Ed Read.”
In his first article, Gorman recommends The Evidence of the Sword, a collection of mystery stories by swashbuckler writer Rafael Sabatini. So, the author of Captain Blood and Scaramouche also wrote “deductive detective fiction set in various historical times?” Sold!
Thanks, Ed!
