If the actual Homicide series was in book form (not those
limp, pallid
tie-in things they released a while back), we'd be going over
each book in
loving detail. Kellerman's unexpected return has torn right
through
hardboiled, and is heading right into the guts of
noirland.
It was just a pointer to some folks on this list who might be
interested in
seeing a little slice of how it should be done, in a medium
that,
admittedly, rarely gets hardboiled right.
Yes, by all means, the main point of the list should be
hardboiled fiction,
but let's deal with the message, not the medium.
