Carrie,

I really think you're on the mark here, but Pelecano's first Stefanos novel is really more like Crumley's "The Wrong Case", and "Down By The River Where The Dead Men Go" is more like "The Last Good Kiss", although there's not so much running around. Both Pelecanos and Dennis Lehane have said how much they admire Crumley, and on Harlan Coben's website, there's a picture of Coben, Pelecanos, Lehane, and Crumley. Sort of a mutual admiration society.
