"Hearse Class Male" by Frank Kane is a gripping noir mystery that plunges readers into the gritty underworld of New York City. Private investigator Johnny Liddell is no stranger to danger, but when he's hired to investigate the murder of a fellow private detective, he finds himself entangled in a web of deceit and betrayal that threatens to consume him.

As Liddell delves deeper into the case, he uncovers a sinister conspiracy involving corrupt businessmen, ruthless gangsters, and a shadowy organization with a deadly agenda. Frank Kane's Johnny Liddell series has always been a solid hardboiled read, pulpy good, and a solid read.

This novel is no exception. In Hearse Class Male, Kane mixes a late sixties science fiction plot about a wonder drug and a secret conspiracy to steal the formula with an old style private-eye tale.

With his back against the wall and time running out, Liddell must navigate the treacherous streets of the city and outsmart his enemies before it's too late. But with danger lurking around every corner, he soon realizes that in this deadly game, no one can be trusted, and the truth may be more elusive than he ever imagined.

Filled with pulse-pounding action, unexpected twists, and razor-sharp dialogue, Hearse Class Male is a classic tale of noir suspense that will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the very last page. .
