South of Babylon Charles E Jones

As the title implies, this is an anthology, a book of short stories, something less than novel length, but are complete stories in themselves. They range across a time span extending from the start of World War II in 1939, describing planes being ferried across the Atlantic by inexperience women pilots, to a bridge construction failure in Florida. They include a story about the Flying Tigers in early 1940; Florida real Estate in the 1950's and police tracking down a slippery hit and run killer in remote Montana in the 1980's. The tales are sometimes erotic, steamy, sexy, romantic, adventious and mysterious covering many decades of the twentieth century when life was different and unencumbered by the electronic revolution of the present day.
