Author Information for Max Allan CollinsMax Allan Collins writes historical mysteries like none you have ever read. Whether you are reading his Nathan Heller series, or his historic series, these books are inspired by actual people, events and a wealth of historical details. I've enjoyed meeting Erle Stanley Gardner, Leslie Charteris, and a long list of celebrities that people his novels. These are MUST reads for me, and I have my favorite dealer on the look-out for the ones out-of-print. -- Vicki Homepage : http://www.maxallancollins.com/
