Daniel Woodrell is one example. A great writer.

Some of Jon A. Jackson's books have rural settings, mostly in Montana. Again a great writer. I'm just reading his Go By Go, which tells about the mine strikses in Butte, Montana, during the First Word War. This could be his best book. Hard-boiled, tough, sometimes humorous, sometimes lyrical. Besides, there is one Pinkerton operative named Hammett as a guest star. Has anybody else read this one?
