It's just George again, trying to take shortcuts in his
research.
I've just received a call for papers on historical crime
fiction, but I'm not familiar with any of the names listed.
Would anyone consider any of the following hard-boiled?
Mary Jo Adamson; Simon Beauford; Lauren Belfer; Ann Benson;
Emily Brightwell; Molly Brown; Fiona Buckley; Karen Rose
Cerrone; P.F. Chisholm; Alys Clare; Dianna Day; Dale
Futurani; Karen Hooper; Michael Jecks; Sharon Kay; Kate
Kingsbury; Stephen Lewis; Alys Kingsbury; Stephen Lewlis;
Gillian Linscatt; A.E. Marston; Ann McMillan; Margaret
Monfredo; Fidelis Morgan; Robin Paige; Owen Parry; Iain
Pears; Sharon Kay Penman; Linda S. Robinson; Caroline Roe;
Candice Roff; Laura Jak Rowland; Randall Salvis; Kate Sealey;
Troy Soos; Rosemary Stevens; Victoria Thompson; Leoney
Tourney; Peter Tremayne
I hate to admit it, but I honestly don't think I recognize a
single name on that list.
In the alternative, does anyone have a favorite hard-boiled
historical detective writer? The only novel I can think of
off the top of my head is the Eliot Ness book Max A. Collins
wrote, which I think is called TRUE DETECTIVE and which sits
in my TBR pile. I know there are a number of others, but I
can't think of them and don't have access to my normal
research tools until the semester starts up again next week.
Aren't some of the Pelecanos D.C. novels historical?
If anyone is interested in the original call for papers, let
me know, and I'll be glad to forward the entire email to you.
It's for a book of essays being edited by Ray Browne.
