Miker,
Re your message below:

cool.
> Plenty of time to read some of his work.
A few weeks ago, someone was asking for hard-boiled WW2
military novels. Dennis's first novel, COMBAT SOLDIER, came
up. I found out from Dennis when we met at B'Con that he
recently arranged to have COMBAT SOLDIER reprinted by
Iuniverse. You can order it from Amazon here:

Try to read at least one entry in each of his three PI
series. His most famous PI is Dan Fortune, the one-armed
Manhattan shamus who was introduced in the Edgar-winning ACT
OF FEAR. These are written under the pseudonym of "Michael
Collins." Fortune has appeared in two very good collections
of short stories, CRIME, PUNISHMENT, AND RESURRECTION and
FORTUNE'S WORLD. In more recent books, Fortune has moved from
NYC to Santa Barbara, CA. Fortune was preceded by
"Slot-Machine" Kelly, another one-armed NYC gumshoe who
appeared in short stories written by Lynds under his own
name.
My second favorite Lynds PI is industrial security specialist
Kane Jackson, who was introduced in A DARK POWER. He wrote
these as "William Arden." "Arden" was also the persona he
used for some juvenile/young adult PI stories he wrote about
"The Three Investigators," and for his Edgar-nominated
espionage short, "Success of a Mission."
Ritzy, high-class PI Paul Shaw, whose big-time agency has
offices in both New York and California, made his first
appearance in THE FALLING MAN, written as by
"Mark Sadler."
