Sorry I Don’t have the full series

True Detective (Nathan Heller #1) - In the mob-choked Chicago of 1932, private detective Nathan Heller may be willing to risk his life to earn a Depression dollar, but he never sacrifices his slicing wit. That’s why mystery fans and critics alike rank the historical thriller True Detective at the top of their lists —and why the book swept up a Shamus Award for best novel from the Private Eye Writers of America.

True Crime (Nathan Heller #2) - Nate Heller survived his confrontations with Al Capone, only to find himself facing Ma Barker, Baby Face Nelson, and perhaps the biggest and most dangerous question in his life: Who was the man shot down in the alley next to the Biograph Theater, the man the FBI had confidently identified as John Dillinger? Heller’s search for the answer leads him into a confrontation with J. Edgar Hoover, and into a much more comfortable meeting with Sally Rand…but not before the streets of Chicago run red with blood.

The Million Dollar Wound (Nathan Heller #3) - From a foxhole on Guadalcanal (shared with Barney Ross) to the glitzy underworld of Hollywood in the ’40s, Nate Heller fights his memories and the Mob. Something happened at the Canal, something Heller’s blocking out. What he can’t block, though, is the wound he received—the million-dollar wound, the one that got him home. Back in the States, and back in Chicago, he becomes involved once again with Frank Nitti during the gang boss’ last violent days, and with the gangland attempts to take over the movie unions. The homefront is every bit as violent as the war-torn Pacific, and even the solace of Sally Rand can do nothing to ease Heller, who is haunted by the death of a friend in Guadalcanal, and surrounded by the mayhem of gangland murders.

Neon Mirage (Nathan Heller #4) - Chicago, 1946. Gambling chief James Ragen is shot right before the eyes of the man hired to protect him: A-1 Detective Agency’s Nate Heller. Which mob boss hungry for Ragen’s gambling action has made a fool of Heller: cold-blooded Capone heir Jake “Greasy Thumb” Guzik or hotheaded, movie star-handsome Bugsy Siegel? The answer’s not in the mean streets of Chicago, because the city’s mob wars have moved west, to the glitz of Hollywood and the fabulous-and illicit-potential of a shabby little desert way station they call Las Vegas

Stolen Away (Nathan Heller #6) - Detective Nate Heller is convinced that although a body identified as the kidnapped Lindbergh baby has been found and a man executed for the crime, the child still lives. Heller’s clues take him to a secluded Michigan farmhouse where the twisted trail of deception, betrayal, and danger explodes in sudden, deadly violence.

Carnal Hours (Nathan Heller #7) - For Chicago detective Nathan Heller, coming to the Bahamas is anything but a vacation. Seems billionaire recluse Sir Harry Oakes wants Nate to get the goods on his new son-in-law, and his pockets are deep enough to get Nate to agree to anything.

Blood and Thunder (Nathan Heller #8) - The place is Louisiana. The time is 1935. Huey Long, the Kingfish, former governor, current U.S. senator, and absolute dictator of this sweet Southern state, is riding high. He has become the most potent challenger to the Presidency, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt has good reason to fear the next election. Nathan Heller, president (and everything else) of the A-1 Detective Agency out of Chicago, has been lured to New York by Long’s trusted adviser to present Huey Long with a birthday gift. The gift is a bulletproof vest, and the message is quite clear. Huey Long, with his indomitable quest for power, has made one enemy too many. Rumors of a plot to assassinate Long are circulating, so Heller is hired to uncover the truth. But saving Long’s life may be the biggest challenge of Nathan Heller’s career - if he himself lives that long. From his passionate and (he thinks) secret affair with the woman Long spurned to his plot to infiltrate Long’s known enemies, Nathan Heller walks a dangerous line, and at any time could lose his already precarious balance. Nathan Heller finds, though, that nothing can keep Huey Long from his destiny, and suddenly, in a fiery burst of gunfire, he knows this is far from the end of his case. It’s just the beginning.

Damned in Paradise (Nathan Heller #9) - Nathan Heller has tackled the most notorious crimes of the century over the course of seven novels, and now he faces one of the greatest challenges of his career, the famous Massie case. Clarence Darrow is past his prime but still a brilliant defense attorney when he asks Heller for a meeting at New York’s celebrity hangout, Sardi’s. Darrow wants Heller along when he takes on the tragic and twisted revenge murder of a “native” Islander who was one of five men accused of raping a beautiful socialite, Thalia Massie. The defendants are, surprisingly, the woman’s husband and mother, along with two Navy men. The case is sordid, tainted with bigotry and lies, and filled with contradictions. The job, then, is this: uncover what really happened. As tensions mount and the case finds its way to the courtroom, the truth becomes disturbingly clear. Darrow’s performance is spellbinding, but will the final verdict spell justice?

Flying Blind (Nathan Heller #10) - The intrepid fictional Nathan Heller discovers the truth behind the disappearance of famed aviatrix Amelia EarhartSeven times a nominee for the Shamus Award given by the Private Eye Writers of America, Max Allan Collins has twice been recipient of the honor. His craft has never been as evident as it is in his latest Nathan Heller novel, Flying Blind.

Angel in Black (Nathan Heller #12) - Nate Heller returns to uncover the secrets of the most infamous unsolved murder in Hollywood history-and it’s his most acclaimed case to date.

Target Lancer (Nathan Heller #16) - Long before November 22, 1963, Nathan Heller, “P.I. to the Stars,” knows that a conspiracy is in the works. Several years earlier, Heller had been involved with the Kennedys, the Mob, and the CIA in the early stages of a plan to assassinate Fidel Castro. Shortly after, Heller’s Mafia contact is murdered.

After being interrogated by gangsters and contacted by U.S. Attorney General Robert Kennedy, Heller realizes that he may be the one person who can prevent a devastating political assassination. Only he knows all the players; only he knows why a web of conspirators has targeted the man known to the Secret Service as “Lancer,” John Fitzgerald Kennedy.

Chicago Lightning (Nathan Heller #17, short stories) - Tough, cynical, and clever, Nathan Heller has been called “the perfect private eye”, the best investigator that Chicago (where ‘lightning’ means gunfire) has to offer. In this engaging collection of thirteen stories, Heller encounters gangsters and petty crooks, noble doctors and quacks, loving wives and wanton women, and even the occasional honest cop. All of the stories are based on real cases of the 1930s and ’40s, meticulously researched by award-winning writer and Road to Perdition creator Max Allan Collins. Heller’s adventures feature some of the biggest names in twentieth-century American crime history: Eliot Ness, Frank Nitti, Mickey Cohen, and Jack Ruby, just to name a few. Whether he is investigating a union shooting, going toe-to-toe with the female leader of a vicious hold-up crew, or playing a homeless man to pose as bait for an insurance racket, Heller’s humorous, wryly cynical tone, and knack for keen social observation make for a cracking good read
