Re Peter Walker's recent
message:
"Has anyone come across 'Eleven
Days' - the Carl Houseman series. I
think there is another one out
- or will be out soon. It is pretty
good. I just picked it up on
spec and really enjoyed it."
I enjoyed it too. In fact, I
think I mentioned it on the list after
reading it a few months ago.
The second book, available on
Amazon.Com, is called *Known
Dead* and invloves Carl in a narcotics
case. I nominated *Eleven Days*
for Best First Novel in Boucercon's
upcoming Anthony Awards.
Harstad was a deputy sheriff in
a rural county in Iowa, and, to the
best of my knowledge, the
Houseman books are the first series of
rural-set police procedurals to
be written by a professional cop who
spent his career in a rural
jurisdiction. - Jim Doherty
