The Bronze Mermaid
Paul Ernst
“The
Bronze Mermaid” by Paul Ernst. An early paperback from Pennant Books by
pulp author Paul Ernst. Ernst was the author of THE AVENGER series
under the Kenneth Robeson house name. With the pulp magazines drying up,
he moved into the paperback field with modern mysteries. In “The Bronze
Mermaid” our protagonist is Sam Cates, an ex Marine now working as an
insurance adjuster for Home Protection Insurance Company. Previously, he
had handled the case of the home robbery involving the Duysberg diamond
and other jewelry. In that case, the police had found the niece of
Senator Keppert tied up and gagged, and the safe robbed. Cates
investigated, and figured it was an inside job, and believed the niece
to be involved, but without enough evidence, the insurance paid off.
Now, several months later, Cates is leaving a French café in New York
when he spots a young girl walking down the street. She looks familiar,
so he follows her out of curiosity. When she enters the Club 50, a
run-down nightclub, he steps in behind her, coming face to face with
Ellen Keppert, the suspicious niece in the jewel robbery.
