I loved _Tropic of Night_, though it's not the sort of book
we'd usually discuss on a list like this. It had a real,
palpable sense of dread and foreboding to it, almost more
like a horror novel, though ultimately it turned into a
police procedural. I've got Gruber's second, _Valley of
Bones_ in my immediate TBR pile
(just as soon as I finish Adrian McKinty's second, the so far
wonderful _Hidden River_).
*************** Thanks for the feedback, Craig. Sounds like
you liked him. horror novel turned police procedural sounds
pretty much on-topic to me, and not that uncommon anymore,
either, probably courtesy of Thomas Harris's Hannibal series.
I think I've got a McKinty novel on the bookshelf waiting on
me. Maybe DEAD I MAY WELL BE?
I'm cranking through my first Robert Crais novel now, L.A.
REQUIEM. Just about finished. Really good. Lotta Chandler's
influence in it.
