On another subj., does anyone know where I can find a list of
Leigh
Brackett's crime stories? I have two bibliographies of her
work, but one
is sci-fi slanted and lists NO crime stories, and the other
(20c. Crime
and Mystery Writers) doesn't list any either. I have two
such
stories (reprinted in recent anthologies of Crime Fiction);
and I'd like
to know how many others there were. Thanks, Michael
