Thanks for the tip! So much Kindling...and me w/o a match yet...
If you read carefully Gault mentions an author in "Don't Cry For Me" that goes by the name of Roney Scott. This always held my interest because "Shakedown" was published by ACE a year later.
SHAKEDOWN features a Joe Puma who's not a lot like the later Joe.
