Wack, try reading the P.I. novels in the fantasy section by Glen Cook. Pretty good series for old vets who like this kind of stuff. I like it and am an old vet too.

Unless you do research, you will probably be shocked to find out the answer.

I, the Jury was his first published novel...but his first published works were writing for comic books :-)

I'm not sure when it came out, but I got to read some of his stuff that I got from the library. The librarian suggested them after she saw what I was checking out. I loved them. I just turned sixty and I enjoy the gum shoes set in that time frame.
I even read fantasy and horror, the oddest was a gum shoe name Cat's Eye Gomez. Cat's Eye is a enhanced cat,(remember this is a fantasy) he reads nothing other than Spillane's and other PI's. He ends up being a PI. Our library has a lot of old TV shows you can check out, I got all the Charlie Chan's. I vaguely remembered them when I was a kid.
They are hysterical. "Feet don't fail me now". Happy Holidays

I thought it might be Kiss Me Deadly. Wrong again. But I loved Mike Hammer and read many books by Spillane. So manly and crude. No emos

Was it "I, The Jury"? Mystery novel. Probably the first paperback I ever saw with significant parts highlighted or underlined. Just a guess.

I think it was "I, The Jury". I still remember the closing lines:
"She came towards me, a suntanned goddess offering herself to her lover. The roar of the .45 shook the room". What a wrap-up!
