Just noticed the howler on Peter Cheyney:  His best character was Lemmy 
CAUTION, not Dawson!
And while you decide what you think of the sperm-ridden writings of Derek 
Raymond (who died an alcoholic, to absolutely nobody's surprise) you 
might consider one or two living British writers: Timlin by all means, 
but also Nicholas Blincoe, Ian Rankin, Chaz Brenchley, Mike Philips, 
Jeremy Cameron - and of course, "one of the leading British hard-boiled 
writers" (Mystery Scene) who is "hard-boiled in the grand classic style" 
(Publishers Weekly) and as the Times says, is "something of a cult" (and 
yes, I have spelt that word right):  RUSSELL JAMES

COUNT ME OUT is published as a paperback original in the UK 
by Serpent's Tail, and in America by Foul Play (Spring 97).
There is, of course, lots more news on my web site:
