A disgraced LA music star faces execution for a crime he didn't
commit in the long-lost crime novel of Robert Silverberg, SFF
Writers of America Grand Master, available for the first time in
over 60 years. HAD L.A.'S HOTTEST BANDLEADER BECOME AN INSTRUMENT
OF DEATH? Before his extraordinary career as a grandmaster of
science fiction, Robert Silverberg honed his craft as a writer for
a variety of pulp magazines, including crime digests with titles
like Trapped and Guilty Detective Story Magazine. He also wrote
this long-lost novel, which appeared under the pen name "Stan
Vincent" in 1960 - and has never been published since. Meet Bob
McKay: once a rising star in the toniest nightclubs of Los Angeles,
now a down-and-out denizen of tawdry bars where B-girls hustle
drinks and brawls break out nightly. When one hustler winds up
strangled, McKay lands on Death Row. Can a starlet and a
sympathetic newspaper columnist clear his name before his date with
the death chamber? Featuring a new introduction by the author and
three bonus stories from Guilty and Trapped, THE HOT BEAT offers
readers a trip through time back to the pulp era, when a future
star was making his bones with stories of murder, betrayal, and
dangerous desires...
