One of the best of the hard-boiled detectives, and one of the most neglected, is the fast-living lawyer Scott Jordan. Jordan is the creation of Harold Q. Masur, himself a practicing lawyer, born-and-educated in New York City, who now presents his cases as fiction. The first novel in the series is Bury Me Deep, a great title that definitely sets the mood. It's a fast-moving murder mystery that begins when Jordan comes home early to find a beautiful but unknown blonde half-dressed and very drunk in his apartment. From then on things get ever more complicated, as murder and intrigue rear their twin heads with Jordan stuck in the middle, trying to solve the crime and clear himself of a murder charge.

She was the picture of blue-eyed innocence. Even the experienced Scott Jordan couldn't tell whether she was lovable...or lethal. But he did know that only she could tell him where to find a fast, hot hundred grand. And then, the killer.

A struggling literary agency sells a book to the studios for $50K, but one of the partners makes off with the money and lawyer Scott Jordan (Perry Mason with a .38) is brought in to solve this mystery, as more obstacles arise to keep this scandalous book from ever becoming a film.
