While I totally agree with the main point that US publishers
are not
supporting hardboiled (except, maybe, Ellroy, Mosley, Block and
Burke),
particularly older hardboiled, I must note that Serpent's Tail
publishes
in the US as well as the UK. This is a good thing, as they
have
numerous great titles. It's kind of like Virgin records, they
work on
both sides of the Atlantic, sometimes even with different
release
schedules. With the exception of the few titles that already
had US
publishers (Mosley, again), just about all of Serpent's Tail is
in print
over here. Borders, for instance, keeps many of them in
stock.
