Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Two-time Shamus winner Max Allan Collins (The Hindenberg Murders) blends fact and fantasy in the new title novella and six previously published short stories assembled in Kisses of Death: A Nathan Heller Casebook. In the novella, wry, slang-slinging PI Heller stumbles upon clues to the Bodenheim murders as he bodyguards a demure Marilyn Monroe.

From Booklist
Nathan Heller doesn't usually do bodyguard work anymore, but the CEO of Chicago's A-1 Detective Agency agrees to make an exception when the body in question belongs to Marilyn Monroe. She's in Chicago to promote the release of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and needs an escort to a potentially raucous press party. Marilyn survives the party, but the same can't be said for a womanizing lush who turns up murdered. As in all the Heller capers, author Collins dramatizes a real-life unsolved crime and posits a fictional (but believable) solution. Among the other real cases Heller "solves" in this collection of stories are the murder of actress Thelma Todd and the suspicious death of Eddie Gaedel (the only midget to play major-league baseball). Collins, winner of two Shamus Awards, makes the most of a winning formula. His mix of fiction and fact is rich in period detail, and Heller is a complex narrator who doesn't always follow the private-eye's code of honor. Fans of the novels will be thrilled to discover these stories. Wes Lukowsky
