Heads You Lose is one of the early Mike Shayne novels and was written by the original Brett Halliday himself, Davis Dresser. Chronologically, it takes place after Phyllis' untimely demise but secretary Lucy Hamilton doesn't make an appearance. This is a wartime novel and concerns gas rationing, army deserters, patriotism, hoodlums, and murder. It has all of the usual Shayne plot devices including his withholding evidence, being shot at, beaten, kidnapped, and a femme fatale. However, this novel was missing something that the better Shayne novels have. It felt a bit stale and lifeless in comparison. Some of the characters seemed a little too designed and less genuine. ( )
