Overview: Carter Brown was the literary pseudonym of Alan Geoffrey Yates. In the mid-1950s Yates was turning out more than twenty books a year; they were also published in England and Finland. In 1958 the New American Library began to publish his novels (beginning with The Body) under the Signet label and with the author listed as Carter Brown, a name judged most suitable for the American market. Eventually his books were translated into fourteen languages, including German and Japanese.
Yates soon became a literary phenomenon. He wrote westerns under the pseudonym Todd Conway, and science fiction under Paul Valdez. He even found the time to write books under various versions of his own name as well as other pseudonyms, Dennis Sinclair and Sinclair MacKellar. But it was his pseudonym Peter Carter Brown then later, Carter Brown (‘Peter’ was dropped for the US market) who was to become the international best-selling pulp fiction author.
Genre: Fiction > Mystery/Thriller
Lt. Al Wheeler. A homicide investigator in fictional Pine County, LA
5. Booty For A Babe (1956).
It was a screwball case the Commissioner said, so it obviously needed a screwball assigned to it! That’s right – me!
Take a bunch of science-fiction fans, take a lecturer – take a tungsten dart from Outer Space and bury it in the lecturer’s heart. For me you can take all of it and lose it.
Excepting the dames, of course.
There’s a redhead with practically no practical experience in this boy-girl stuff – she says. So I introduce her to my hi-fi set-up in the hope she will play.
There’s a blonde with a boyfriend but the boyfriend bores her and she prefers drinking with me.
There’s another blonde on the switch who can throw a switch so fast I’m still going thisaway instead of thataway.
But I like my women to be the way I am – unorthodox.
Oh, yes – the murders.
People keep on dying all over the place and the Commissioner kept on making threats.
‘Solve this case, Wheeler,’ he said. ‘Or take back a blue uniform and get your flat feet out again.’
7. No Law Against Angels (1957). (US title "The Body")
Wheeler is summoned by the commissioner to assist an arrogant homicide detective named Hammond. Wheeler, always holding Scotch, is to locate the murderer of two women found dead in San Francisco alleyways. The only clue is that each have a snake tattoo and they are from out of town. Never a strongman, our bumbling sleuth somehow backs himself into a call girl racket that involves mortuaries, hair salons and a hilltop mansion that might hold the answers.
17. The Bombshell (1960). A previous shorter version was Doll for the Big House.
It’s Al Wheeler’s job to find a beautiful blonde’s killer when he’s not even sure she’s a corpse.
25. The Hellcat (1962).
Trying to identify a pickled head in a jar lands Al Wheeler between an entitled family and a pair of gangsters, one dubbed "The Creeping Terror".
30. The Lady is Available (1963).
She was a beautiful bohemian who wore the scantiest of bathing suits when she painted and less when she entertained. Her uninhibited hospitality made it hard for Lieutenant Al Wheeler to keep business before pleasure…but he was a cop, and he was there to ask questions about a murder. An artist dies violently, and Al Wheeler begins a deadly, dangerous case a case that leads from an artists studio to a tycoons plush pent-house office; from a lovely wanton to a strait-laced society wife; from a mysterious picture to multiple death!
41. Burden of Guilt (1970).
Burden of Guilt finds police detective Al Wheeler looking into the brutal murder of a call girl, found naked in the garden of a disgraced, disbarred lawyer, who is caught up in some nefarious union dealings. During the investigation of this young woman’s murder, Wheeler comes up against some deadly characters, seductive women, and finds himself making one fateful decision that places a burden of guilt on his shoulders.
43. W.H.O.R.E.! (1971).
Lt. AL WHEELER knew he had seen the gorgeous nude body draped across the bed, a bullet through her brain. Yet now she had vanished. And with no corpse to back up his story, Wheeler’s fellow cops were beginning to think he’d finally flipped out — especially when he explained that the missing victim had been kidnapped by nothing less than a giant Mickey Mouse. The answer, Wheeler knew, could be found only at W.H.O.R.E. — the bizarre women’s lib group where freedom meant sex, and liberation spelled murder!
