(The President of the United States sent his very Special ...)
The President of the United States sent his very Special Private Investigator, Ed Noon, to Rome to pick up an innocuous package. But the enigma of that package and what it held hurled the redoubtable Noon into a fantastic set-piece of espionage, mayhem and sudden death. Where else but the Eternal City could he have met a pistol-packing giant like Kate Arizona, a tough policeman like Captain Santini, and the dread terrorist group known as the Arcangeli?

Book in which the made-for-TV biopic was bases.

(ED NOON MYSTERY #14 Lust Is No Lady Ed Noon’s car blows...)
ED NOON MYSTERY #14 Lust Is No Lady Ed Noon’s car blows a tire on Highway 80 in Wyoming, and he is immediately the helpless target for a diving Piper Cub, which bombards him with bricks. He finds Brandy, a naked Indian girl, staked out in the sun, and she leads him to a cabin, where her Uncle Charlie Redwine has been tortured to death. Noon encounters the Riker Gang, which is determined to find a missing gold bullion shipment, dating back to the Civil War. But the main distraction is P.J., the murderous dwarf pilot of the Piper Cub, who has some very bad plans of his own. The Adventures of Ed Noon, Private Eye, spanning over 30 novels written between 1953 and 1990. Noon starts out dirt poor with a tiny office in Midtown Manhattan (his “Mouse Auditorium”) but success moves him to better digs, a lovely secretary (Melissa Mercer) and, eventually, the most important client of all: the President of the United States. The series concludes with a daring turn towards science fiction in the last two novels. Through it all, the wisecracking Noon is consistent: a movie and baseball-obsessed romantic who always fights the good fight. And, more often than not, wins.

(“When a man is marked for the bullet that will kill him, ...)
“When a man is marked for the bullet that will kill him, it doesn’t seem to matter when it was that you saw him last." Ed Noon, Private Eye The first bad vibration came when a famous Guru was found swinging on a Greenwhich Village meat hook. The next arrived when someone used a bomb to blow more than hippies minds. The summer of love was over, and the only trace of flower power was the scent of poppies. The only way Ed Noon could turn off a turned-on killer was to take the ultimate trip to the depths of the Underground, where speed, sex and Satanism ruled supreme, and everyone was cool. Especially the corpses. The Adventures of Ed Noon, Private Eye, spanning over 30 novels written between 1953 and 1990. Noon starts out dirt poor with a tiny office in Midtown Manhattan (his “Mouse Auditorium”) but success moves him to better digs, a lovely secretary (Melissa Mercer) and, eventually, the most important client of all: the President of the United States.

Detective Ed Noon, the President's ace-in-the-hole, was used to big-league trouble-but this time even he had to gulp at the line-up against him. Leading off was a little old lady who was more deadly than an army of men ... next a pair of pro killers for whom business was pleasure ... then an incredibly skillful sadist who got his kicks from his victim's agony ... and batting clean-up, a fan-tastic girl who just gobbled up Ed Noon's best stuff". .. The bases were loaded with disaster, and unless Noon put something very extra on the ball, the game was up for himself and for the whole Free World ...
