Gary Phillips’ Nate Hollis leaps from the comic page to his first complete prose collection. Authors Juliet Blackwell, Bobby Nash, Aaron Philip Clark, and Derrick Ferguson join Phillips to create six double barreled tales of mystery and action. The streets are mean, but they don’t hold a stick of dynamite to Hollis, P.I. From creator Gary Phillips and Pro Se Productions. “PI Nate Hollis originally sprang from the rich imagination of LA-based writer Gary Phillips, but he’s so real and tactile he could climb off the page and buy you a bourbon. Now, four other authors are getting a piece of Nate, too, and this latest collection of Nate stories is wonderful. This is contemporary noir at its best, offering all the familiar pleasures of the genre, but giving them a modern makeover. Yes, this is a violent world that Nate inhabits, but he steers a true and moral course through the layers of deception, skullduggery and sometimes worse that make these stories such high-density entertainment. Nate’s a great character and these stories do him justice and more. “ T. Jefferson Parker Author of “The Famous and the Dead”

Nate Hollis - recommended reading!
By col2910
A relatively short book with 6 collected stories, concerning LA PI - Nate Hollis. What added a bit of zest to the mix was the fact that 4 of them were penned by authors other than the creator of the character – Gary Phillips.
Each story entertained and what was a little bit surprising to me was the consistency of voice, from our author collective presenting our intrepid investigator Nate. We get an intriguing taste of Hollis away from his cases. He’s single, but not without female company when he’s in the mood. He’s close to his Grandfather – Clutch who runs a bar. Clutch constantly frets about his Grandson’s safety. Nate’s father – a former cop - is dead and whilst we don’t get any details on the circumstances, we know enough to understand the death is suspicious and no-one has been held to account for it. A long shadow hangs over Hollis.
Gary Phillips kicks things off with possibly my favourite of the bunch – The Chuckles Job – a bank robbery in the 80’s with the loot still missing. Fast forward twenty-plus years and we have an old man with Alzheimer’s disease and his landlord’s family with a link to an old prison guard who crossed paths with one of the bank-robbing clowns. There’s plenty of greenbacks still floating around waiting to be claimed.
Further cases involve murder, kinky sex games with unforeseen consequences, the porn industry, and an old LA crime legend with a penchant for dealing out death by way of his pit-bulls.
Our last story involves a bounty hunter, Irma Deuce. Deuce and Hollis cross paths on occasion and are useful to each other as back-up.
We see the ugly side of a bright lights, neon-lit city which attracts the young and innocent with their naïve dreams and which in a short space of time uses them up and disposes of them. Hollis acts as a moral compass and attempts to achieve some level of restitution for our victims.
With the exception of the conductor of our orchestra - Mr Phillips, this was my first taste of the other authors in the collection.
Juliet Blackwell with her Belly of the Beast, gives an astute insight into Hollis’ psyche…….
Nate disliked Gene Oberrecht on sight.
In his more philosophical moments, Nate realised that even tall, blond men raised with f^*&ing silver spoons in their mouths faced challenges in life. But since Nate was not by nature a philosopher, he found it easier to dislike them on sight. Their privilege, their assumption that the world was their own personal playground, their disregards for others – reasons enough, Nate figured.
Verdict – short, sharp, satisfying. Grit with a heart. Nate Hollis is definitely a character I’d like to read more about in the future.
5 from 5
Juliet Blackwell, Bobby Nash and Derrick Ferguson merit some further investigation. Aaron Philip Clark with his books A Healthy Fear of Man and The Science of Paul: A Novel of Crime is already on my radar.
I've enjoyed Phillips’ – Monkology – a collection of stories featuring an earlier PI creation Ivan Monk from Gary in the past. (Pre-blog, pre-reviewing days.) Other novels await in the stacks……High Hand, Shooter’s Point, Bangers, The Jook, Perdition U.S.A. and Violent Spring. I just need to locate some of them, which is the easy part and then find time to read them! Not so easy.
He was kind enough to send me a copy of this for my perusal.

Just a bit too hardboiled for my personal taste, but excellent stories that really fit the bill!

Possible spoilers; although I always do my best to not give away the game. Sometimes just naming the players in the game says too much for some. Apology in advance. Raven
END NOTICE
Gary Phillip’s Hollis, PI by various authors
Nate Hollis is a black Private Investigator in the hardboiled style of a Sam Spade. If this book were a movie, it would be rated R for language, violence, and the occasional adult situation. That is not a black mark against the book; that is pure hardboiled pulp at its best!
“The Chuckles Job” by Gary Phillips
June, 1988. Three men in “Chuckles the Clown” masks pulled a robbery of a Treasury Facility in Thousand Oaks. Their take was three million in five hundred dollars bills that were being pulled from circulation. However, the money was still good old US Currency worth face value and perhaps more if you sold one to a collector.
They hid the money which was never found. Until now.
Nate Hollis has his hands full dealing with the thirty-year old crime, and the repercussions that it has caused in the present. There’s a cache to be found, crooks to round up, and women to pursue. Business as usual!
(For those of us who have never read Nate Hollis, PI in comics, this story is a handy way of introducing the character. Nice to make your acquaintance, Gary!)
“Naomi” by Bobby Nash
Nate Hollis has been hired to find a missing girl, one Naomi Waynesboro. When he does find her, she has been dead for a few days. Now Hollis is on the prowl looking for whoever killed the girl. Before the case ends, Hollis will have to deal with a porn ring, and having Bounty Hunter Irma Duce along might just be the best idea Hollis ever had! What do you do with people who are nigh untouchable because they bribe, threaten, and kill to make sure the law acts in their favor?
(This is a Hollis-sticks-it-to-the-crook story, with surprises and disappointments along the way. Nice one, Bobby!)
“Belly of the Beast” by Juliet Blackwell
Nate Hollis travels up to San Francisco, where an old acquaintance named Rosie asks for help with a problem she has. Scott Buchanan, CEO of Leviathan Enterprises has been ritually murdered over in Oakland. Rosie knows the woman accused in the crime and wants Hollis to prove that she is innocent. It doesn’t help the case that the woman, Sequoia Sempervirens, is both a Wiccan and an environmental activist, or that the SFPD is being rushed to close the case. But nothing is ever what it seems when you investigate crime in Oakland, which San Francisco people call “The Beast.”
(Neat little twist ending on this one; a very pleasant surprise! Congrats, Blackwell!)
“Twilight of El Perro” by Aaron Philip Clarke
A man dies in an alley attacked by pit bulls. He had been trying to reach Nate Hollis, but there were six N. Hollises in the Phone Directory. The first one was the right one, but Nate wasn’t home. The man never had a chance to make a second call. When Nate arrives at the crime scene, the Cops are writing the death off as an animal attack, perhaps coyotes. Nate knows better. But Detective First Grade Maynard Regus does let Nate know the man was wanted in a huge theft.
Back home Nate’s grandfather states that death by dogs had been the MO of a guy named Tito Garza—El Perro of Pedro. The caller, who had given his name as Fletch, had mentioned a man named Humphrey. The trail of “the dog” leads through a prostitution ring, a city councilman’s office, and the dark world of a hired killer with an horrific method of execution.
(The intrigue runs smoothly through this one, going from point to point naturally, nothing ever forced. Great Job, Aaron!)
“Baby Daddy” by Derrick Ferguson
Hollis is called in the middle of the night by a woman in trouble, a friend of a friend. When he reaches her house, yet another friend of a friend is the real reason he is there. A lot of questions arise during his questioning of his client. Did this latest woman kill someone? Was she goaded into committing a crime or only framed and blackmailed? Why? And why does woman A, who first called Hollis, seem more worried about her reality TV show rating than any other person or question?
(This one has more twists and turns than Vermont Street in San Francisco! Well done, Derrick!)
“Last Stand At Echo Villa” by Gary Phillips
I guess it only proper that the book begins and ends with the original author! This last story is about Irma Duce. She has been paid to find an individual and bring him in alive. However, others may have not received the same message, because they are trying to kill both Duce and her captive. And then there are the other people involved. How does a football player getting a shot in the emergency room develop into a deadly game of cat and mouse?
(This Irma Duce stand-alone story may signal a spin-off volume. That’s a hint, Gary!)
All in all the stories in this book are good quality. They represent great work from noted authors in new pulp. I give the book four out of five stars, but that is only because as a personal preference, I would like less language and innuendo. The stories rock, but are really a little too hardboiled for my taste.
Quoth the Raven…
