De-lurking here to make mention of Martin Limon. I believe he
has two novels to his credit now, the first being "Jade Lady
Burning." I read this a few days ago and enjoyed it quite a
bit. Very understated writing, deceptively calm on the
surface, grabs you when you don't expect it. Finesse is one
word that comes to mind. I think Limon has it and I think he
qualifies as HB.
By the way, this is an excellent list. I joined to learn and
I haven't been disappointed. Thanks to all.
