I wrote: Let me name the authors of the last 10
private/police detective novels I've read: Taibo, Hammett,
Prather, Hamilton, Sallis, Estelman, Torrey, Lochte,
McGivern, Corris. Two of them are old enough that they had no
private life, Torrey and Hammett. That leaves 8. Out of those
8, only Prather's Shell Scott was a happy camper, and he is
so ridiculous as to not hardly count.
********* I forgot to add that the remaining 7 look like
losers to me, according to the earlier factors I
mentioned.
