I'm still relatively new to this group in particular and HB
in general. I'm interested in reading other HB writers who
have strong regional flavor in their stories -- especially
writers whose stories are based in the here and now (not SF
of the 30s and 40s or Ellroy's LA of the 50s.) Who else
besides Pelecanos identifies closely with a city or a
region?
