I think that LIGHT IN AUGUST is a bit of a stretch, though
I
understand the thinking that went into the suggestion, but
SANCTUARY strikes
me as bona fide hardboiled....certainly hard to think of a
book less
sentimental or more unpleasant in theme.

This works for me. there are several I have not read,
notably the
last two "L.A." books, as well as CLANDESTINE, SUICIDE HILL,
and BROWN'S
REQUIEM all of which I think are bouncing around here
somewhere (keeping
track of my books has never been my strong point).
