The Tony Rome series follows a private detective operating out of Miami, Florida. Albert published these books under the pseudonym Anthony Rome, and the series quickly attracted Hollywood attention.
Two of the three novels were adapted into films starring Frank Sinatra. The 1967 film Tony Rome was based on Miami Mayhem, and the 1968 film Lady in Cement took its name directly from the second novel. The series combines hard-boiled detective fiction with the sun-soaked Miami setting of the early 1960s.
