Hi Bill!

My vote does not go to the Dan Kearny series. I'd recommend CASES, which I believe was recently issued in paperback. Set in the 50's, it describes the growth of a hardboiled detective _and_ the reason for the attitude. Tied with John Katzenbach's HART'S WAR for Best Novel of 1999 (IMHO, of course).
