How about Geoffrey Norman's novels? I especially liked his
first one, MIDNIGHT WATER, but I thought the Morgan Hunt
series was pretty good, especially the first one, SWEETWATER
RANCH. I still see Norman's writing turn up in magazines like
MEN'S JOURNAL, but I guess he's killed off the Hunt series.
It's been a long time since the last one.
I thought the first couple of titles in Richard Hill's
Randall Gatsby Sierra series were pretty good too (WHAT ROUGH
BEAST and SHOOT THE PIPER). By the way, I understand Hill
died last year at a pretty young age, desperately trying to
find a publisher to pick up the Sierra series. I don't know
many details.
Both Norman's and Hill's books are a little heavy on the
testosterone, but I think both writers are pretty good at
capturing a sense of place. Hill tended to range a bit in the
Sierra series, but as I recall they were at their best when
he was writing about Florida.
Later....Kip
I'm off soon to the Deep South (mainly Florida, Mississippi,
and Louisiana).
Can anybody recommend any good HB reading? I've
read McDonald, Willeford, Hiassen and Burke.
