Order of Frank Nolan Books
American author Max Allan Collins creates a compelling protagonist in Frank Nolan, the central figure of his hard-boiled mystery series. Collins openly acknowledges that his character draws heavy inspiration from Richard Stark's Parker, and while he was initially comfortable crafting a single novel featuring this influenced character, he sought and obtained Stark's blessing before expanding into a full series. Nolan emerges as an experienced thief facing the twilight of his criminal career, determined to pull off one final score before retiring from the game.
Readers first encountered Frank Nolan in 1973's Bait Money, with Collins quickly following up that same year with Blood Money. The complete Max Allan Collins Frank Nolan series, listed in publication order:
