Straight From the Author's Mouth!
Matt Jagger
Created by Gordon Ross
It's the late 1930's and MATT JAGGER's a one-armed former
L.A. cop who was shot up by some of his own. Without cop work,
he is forced to hang up his own shingle a few miles up the road...in
Santa Barbara. He body-guards the rich and famous from Hollywood,
gathers divorce
evidence, gets shot at, bumped over the head, etc.. Matt's adventures
are written in tongue in cheek, hard-boiled detective, pulp fiction
style (hopefully).
Klamath Falls, Oregon's Gordon Ross has been writing professionally
since 1956 . He's a a
recently retired journalist/advertising man, and has been transferred

as Peter Straub's Ghosts, from Pocket Books, or Horrors,
365 Scarey Stories out last year in hard cover by Barnes and
