Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Originally written under the pseudonym of E. V. Cunningham during the era of blacklisting, this tale of a woman whose past repeatedly eludes a down-on-his-luck private investigator is accompanied by Fast's account of his experiences during the blacklist. 25,000 first printing. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

From AudioFile
Blacklisted writer Howard Fast published about thirty books under the name E.V. Cunningham. As he writes in the forward, he is finally claiming these books as his own, and he's especially proud of Sylvia. The narrator has a wonderful whiskey-soaked voice which is excellent for this mystery novel. He is a little less successful with women's voices than men's. If the dialogue sounds stilted, it's the aging of the writing, not any reflection on Daniels, who has the right voice for the novel. The production values are very high. E.F. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

4.0 out of 5 stars "Yes ... I remember Sylvia", March 12, 2006
By KnC Books "kncbooks" (Denver, CO United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sylvia: A Novel (Hardcover)
Written by Howard Fast (The Lavette Saga) while he was black-listed during the McCarthy era, Sylvia is a suspenseful detective mystery.

The detective, Alan Macklin, is hired by a wealthy businessman to investigate his wife-to-be. The trail leads him to Los Angeles, New York, and Mexico, and takes Macklin deeper and deeper into the dark secrets of Slvia's life and the people that know her.
