Back in the magazine store and spin rack days, I used to think Monarch Books really had great cover art. Only ones I ever read were the Lou Largo PI series created by William Ard (and carried on by others after his death). I still have the ones Ard wrote. Again, great covers. Check out "The Sins of Billy Serene." I wish some knowledgeable soul would do an in-depth article about Monarch. Like Manhunt, my sense is that it was a closed market with material supplied solely by the Scott Meredith Agency.
Bill Pronzini wrote the only article about Monarch that I know of, and that was more than 35 years ago. I think more might be known about the company now, so a new article would be a good thing to see.

Is he still practicing, or did he finally get it right?
No wonder it costs so much to get through Medical School!
Well worth it.
