Nathan Heller

The “perfect private eye” looks back on his career among Chicago’s famous and infamous in this profile by the Shamus Award–winning author (Daily News, New York).

As a ghostwriter settles in for a series of interviews with the semi-retired Nathan Heller—who in his long career as a cop and private detective has dealt with famous cases and colorful characters, from Al Capone to Amelia Earhart, and Jack Ruby to Jimmy Hoffa. Fans of the mystery series by New York Times–bestselling author Max Allan Collins (the aforementioned ghostwriter) get to know this classic character, his A-1 Detective Agency, and the man who created him, a little better.

“A believable, enduring hard-boiled hero.” —Los Angeles Times

“When it comes to noirish, hard-boiled PI thrillers, few writers can compete with Collins.” —Library Journal
