I have these two, along with a number of other Five-Star
mystery collections. Five-Star is doing a true service in
putting out these collections and few have disappointed
(although a Joe Gores collection comes instantly to mind).
Several other short-story collections that, along with the
Hunter/McBain volumes, were outstanding are collections by
William Nolan, Ed Gorman, Clark Howard and Donald
Westlake.
Though there are a great number of Five-Star collections (and
novels, most notably hc reprints of the Tucker Coe novels by
Westlake) available, many of them seem to tread quite
liberally on the cozy side on the genre fence. But several,
like the ones noted above as well as others, are a treat for
hardboiled enthusiasts who like their suspense Dark.
By the way, a third Hunter/McBain collection is due out soon
from this publisher, entitled FIFTY FROM THE FIFTIES.
