A while ago I suggested an Australian month, and it seemed to
be an acceptable idea, but was never scheduled. So I'd like
to suggest it again. Some possible books and authors to
read:
Patricia Carlon, Hush, It's a Game Kenneth Cook, Wake in
Fright Peter Corris John Dale, The Dogs Are Barking, Dark
Angel Caroline Shaw, Cat Catcher Peter Temple, Black Tide,
Bad Debts, Dead Point, Shooting Star, Iron Rose
A Canadian month would also be good. A couple of
possibilities:
Peter Sellers and Kerry Schooley (eds.), Iced (contents
listed here: <http://www.thrillingdetective.com/iced.html>),
Hard Boiled Love, Revenge Giles Blunt, Forty Words for
Sorrow, A Delicate Storm Any others?
