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.
