Every Friday, a bunch of mystery fans and bloggers pick their favorite forgotten or overlooked classic of the genre. THE MAN WITH THE IRON-ON BADGE was author Paul D. Brazill’s choice today and he said, in part:
The Man with the Iron-On Badge by Lee Goldberg is a classic PI novel full of great lines and twists and turns with a touch of the Rockford Files and The Big Lebowski about it.
Thanks so much, Paul!
I don’t think the novel counts as “forgotten”. I just finished the book last night and I classify it as “horribly unappreciated” or “why the hell didn’t this hit the bestseller list?”
Thank you, Gerard. I hope you’ll consider leaving a review for the book on Amazon.

I just read this and I loved it. I read several Lee Goldberg’s all at once to get a feel for the way you write. This one was the best. I am so sorry to find that this poor man didn’t have further adventures in additional books.
