The Fortune series consists of four crime novels published between 1970 and 1973. Written under Harknett’s own name, these books sit alongside his Steve Wayne crime novels as examples of his work outside the western genre.
Stopover for Murder, Dead Set, One Horse Race, and Black Death were published during a transitional period in Harknett’s career, as he was beginning to move toward the western fiction that would dominate his output for the next two decades.
