Thanks. I wonder, though, when it was written, to put it in the scheme of
things. It's earlier than the Mosleys, I guess. I see it's about to have
another reprint, unless I got my info wrong.
Has anyone heard about the "lost Hoke Moseley" book? Lawrence Block wrote
a bit about it in an article a few years back, said it's floating around in
manuscript form and is "unpublishably dark." I wonder if _anything_ is
unpublishably dark in this day and age...
