I took Mario Taboada's advice and read Raoul Whitfield's
Green Ice. I
had a copy around, but hadn't rushed to read it because I had
been a
little disappointed with Death in a Bowl (which is good--I
just had high
expectations; I liked "Mistral," the story we read in the
eponymous
Hard-Boiled collection). I thought Green Ice was pretty
great. Great
action, fine prose. The plot and premises are occasionally a
bit
much--or not enough--but you don't care too much because of
the ride.
Thanks Mario. Do I move on to Whitfield's only other novel,
The Virgin
Kills?
Best,
Doug Levin
