I finished reading THE BRASS RAINBOW (1969), the second title
in the PI Dan Fortune series, last night. I enjoyed it as
much as if not more than a couple later Dan Fortune titles
(CHASING EIGHTS from 1990) and (CASSANDRA IN RED from 1992).
Dan Fortune in TBR (dedictated to Ken Millar, the author's
early benefactor) is still set in NYC. A couple near
explanations account for his one arm. Though DF runs up
against the rich and corrupt here, the social "message" isn't
laid on too thick. The narrative is well paced; the prose
crisp and clean.
Recommendations for other entries in the Dan Fortune
series?
