That's the one problem with small presses that makes me wait until
their titles are effectively available through Amazon or similar
outlets instead of pre-ordering. I've had too many unpleasant
experiences paying for books that don't come out when they're supposed
to or sometimes never do.
That's why I was hesitant to mention these two hardboiled titles from
Moonstone that should have come out but still haven't to my knowledge:
Sex, Lies and Private Eyes (edited by M.A. Collins and with a pretty
good lineup of writers)
http://www.amazon.com/Lies-Private-Eyes-Allan-Collins/dp/1933076453
and
Partners in Crime by C.J. Henderson and Joe Gentile (the hook here is
the use many characters from old time pulps and radio. Henderson, btw,
is a pretty good hardboiled writer that I haven't seen mentioned on
this list)
