PB has already given you the lowdown on Daly; he was among
the earliest,
but may not be the most accomplished stylist ;-)
Keep an eye out for William F. Nolan's _The Black Mask Boys_
(Morrow:
NY, 1985). You can probably pick up a second-hand copy (hb,
1st ed, dj)
from an online book dealer for anywhere between $10-20.
In it you'll find an introductory essay by Nolan, a brief
piece on each
of the eight writers featured, and a story by each of the
following:
Dashiell Hammett, Raymond Chandler, Erle Stanley Gardner,
Horace McCoy,
Carroll John Daly, Frederick Nebel, Raoul Whitfield and Paul
Cain.
The Daly story, btw, is 'Three Gun Terry'.
