The Harry Gould Thriller series was Raymond Obstfeld’s debut work, with four books published between 1979 and 1982. Starting with The Goulden Fleece, the series follows its title character through The Dead-End Option, Dead Heat, and Dead Bolt.
The series has a classic pulp thriller feel, with the rapid three-year publication window and punchy titles typical of the late 1970s and early 1980s action fiction market. These early books launched Obstfeld’s career as a genre fiction writer.
