I read THE JONES MEN when it first came out in paperback. All
that remains now is the memory that I really liked it and
wondered why the author didn't do any more books. Or at least
any that I ever saw.
Department of Forgotten Books: Gold Medal was still doing
some good stuff in the late 1960s, like LADYFINGERS by
Shephard Rifkin. I picked up a 1981 reprint from Charter
Books the other day and decided I should re-read it. A lean,
fast, first-person police procedural, maybe not quite
hardboiled or noir but close enough to both for me.
