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...

The second, much shorter story, is titled “Jailbait Girl”. It’s a couple running a statutory rape scam that has worked four out of four times. But the fifth…
The third story is “Drunken Sailor”. It’s about a young sailor in big, bad ol’ New York City, looking for a woman to help him for his ‘first’ time.
Story number four is “Naked in the Lake”. It begins with a great first line - “So I was going to have to kill Peggy.” Peggy being the married narrator’s pregnant mistress. But murder isn’t always the ‘easy’ solution that it seems to be!
I have to say, I enjoyed the three short stories more than the longer first one! But I still feel like the whole book was worth the read! ( )
