Description: "The Best of Crime & Detective TV (Perry Mason to Hill Street Blues, The Rockford Files to Murder, She Wrote)" - by Max Allan Collins and John Javna - Softcover (7" x 9-1/8") - published in 1988 by Harmony Books - 144 pages (with numerous great black & white photos) - EXCELLENT condition. Designed especially for mystery buffs, The Best of Crime and Detective TV presents a line-up of top ranking shows in four mystery categories: Police Procedurals, Private Eyes, Amateur Sleuths, and Comedy Crimefighters. The "rap sheet" on each of the winners, compiled by award-winning mystery novelist Max Allen Collins and pop-historian John Javna, looks at the show's origins, traces it to precursory crime and detective literature, and argues the influence on the development of the TV crime show. Whether your hero is Jack Webb (Joe Friday on Dragnet) or elegant and urbane Lord Peter Wimsey on the PBS classic Mystery, this is the book for you. All the great crime and mystery shows of the past (pre 1988) are in this outstanding book. There is a red marker line on the bottom page edges, but this book is still in EXCELLENT condition.
