Over the weekend I was able to look through some boxes of
books destined for the dump, and I thought I'd mention some
of what I found
* 19 Ross Macdonalds, all but two or three being Lew
Archers
* _Dead Yellow Woman_ (Dell mapback) and _Red Harvest_ (old
Pocket)
by Hammett
* _Operation Fireball_, Dan J. Marlowe (Fawcett Gold
Medal)
* _Guilty As Hell_, Brett Halliday
* _The Switch_, Elmore Leonard (has Ordell Robbie and Louis
Gara--
don't they appear in another book)
* _The Drowner_, _Soft Touch_ and _Slam the Big Door_, all
John D.
MacDonald FGMs
* _The Poisoners_, Donald Hamilton (FGM, Matt Helm #13)
* _Danny Dunn, Scientific Detective_, which is not hardboiled
at all.
Is Dan J. Marlowe in the general tough Gold Medal style, like
Hamilton and Edward Aarons? Looks like it.
All in all, I was pretty happy with what I got. Those books,
an Ellery Queen, a Gail Bowen, and a few others will keep my
to-be-read pile high.
