Then you'll want to read CONS, SCAMS & GRIFTS next, which
is essentially a continuation of the mostly Rom DKA tales.
After HAMMET, which I enjoyed, then INTERFACE, which I loved,
I had tried reading some of the early DKA, but they just
didn't click. I'm guessing I was looking for more INTERFACE,
but whatever it was, I couldn't get more than a few pages
into those books without putting them down.
I eventually read 32 CADILLACS on Mr. Denton's
recommendation, found it extremely enjoyable, and it got me
introduced to enough of the DKA characters to instantly enjoy
the more somber early DKA novels.
After that, it was anything I could get my hands on. I have
not yet read either WOLF TIME, A TIME OF THE PREDATORS, or
DEAD MAN.

That last story is called 'The Second Coming'. All three of
those were recently ('99) reprinted in SPEAK OF THE DEVIL
which has the following contents:
Speak of the Devil The Second Coming Raptor Plot It Yourself
Smart Guys Don't Snore Watch For It Quit Screaming Killer Man
Faulty Register You're Putting Me On, Aren't You? The Andrech
Samples Night Out Sleep the Big Sleep Goodbye, Pops
