Kevin,

Mega-dittoes on your defense of the Collinses, Michael and Max Allan.

Fans of Michael Collins might also want to check out another PI series he writes as William Arden about an former Army cop turned industrial security specialist named Kane Jackson. It's quite amazing that he's creates three separate PI characters who are so different from each other.

His wife, Gayle Lynds, writes some damned good spy thrillers. One of them, MASQUERADE, was published about a year before the movie, THE LONG KISS GOOD NIGHT, came out. The film had a plot that was suspiciously similar to Mrs. Lynds's novel, yet claimed to be an original screenplay. Oh well, I suppose coincidences DO happen.
