I'm not familiar with Wyndham Martyn, but can warmly recommend the work of
James Curtis, Gerald Butler, Robert Westerby, Patrick Hamilton and Gerald
Kersh. Most are periodically rediscovered (it must be Gerald Butler's turn
soon) and even if all their books are not necessarily criminous they have in
common an engaging seediness and exude a bleak, if not noir, atmosphere.
