Hey Kent,
I just bought 1/2 a dozen of the Hard Case Crime books and
have just this afternoon finished SONGS OF INNOCENCE by
"Richard Aleas" aka Charles Ardai. It is excellent, a perfect
suspense novel which pulls you along by the short hairs from
page one, which sets you up and then, miraculously, gets it
just right at the end. Though I read the sequel first, I
can't wait now to read LITTLE GIRL LOST, his 1st HCC
novel.
I don't want to say much else for fear of spoiling it. Cover
by Glen Orbik, paperback originals artist extraordinaire. The
whole HCC thing is retro in the best possible way, right down
to having an insert in the middle book advertising...in the
old days it was where they put a cigarette ad, but in this
case it's an ad for the HCC book club, which I plan to
join.
Onward now to one of the following (any suggestions which one
to read first?):
FRIGHT by Cornell Woolrich TWO FOR THE MONEY by Max Allan
Collins THE BIG CLOCK by Kenneth Fearing WEB OF MURDER by
Harry Whittington or THE NEW YORK TRILOGY by Paul
Auster
best, Don
