The Brass Chills
by Hugh Pentecost
Luke Bradley is no stranger to murder, but the stakes have never been higher — the defense of American lives from malevolent Japanese forces. The action begins when screenwriter Chris Wells travels from the west coast to a naval repair base on a barren island. Amid angry rumors and suspicion, Bradley and Wells race to unmask a saboteur before the civilian laborers turn upon each other. "An unusually well-plotted and well-written story with the suspects limited to the members of a small group. Action, suspense and plenty of thrills from start right down to finish...." — New York Times "A sharp, fast, exciting yarn, vivid with a refreshingly realistic patriotism...."— San Francisco Chronicle "A realistic and exciting murder mystery story...." — Chicago Tribune
