I've had some e-mail problems lately and haven't been able to
send
anything to the list. If things are working now, I'd like to
say how
much I agree with Bob Skinner about Donald Hamilton's Matt
Helm
series. The earlier books have some wonderful hardboiled
writing in
them. And I also want to say a good word for Frank
McAuliffe's books
about Augustus Mandrell, mentioned originally by Ted White.
The three
Mandrell books are my favorite hitman stories. Funny,
brilliantly
plotted, and well worth readinf more than once.
