Sounds like a fun time, Bill!

He knows tons about film noir and old hardboiled stuff, and
quoted the line from THE MALTESE FALCON that gives the name
to the list off the top of his head. Anyone reading this list
would have a great time talking to him, I'm sure. I'm looking
forward to reading the rest of the Amos Walker series, and
more of his westerns and other books.

I've read some of his westerns as well as the Amos books. I
think you'll like 'em. I haven't tried his more mainstream
historical novels, though. Anyone have any comments about
those?
