<<Yeah, I realized after I posted that I meant to
include thisone too.
It's not a PI either by any stretch of the imaganation. What
happened
this year, this seems to me to be the first year, they just
nominated
willy-nilly (well not actually Willy, but everything
including the
kitchen sink)>>
But look at the bright side: the line-up includes bona-fide
hardboiled
writers - very good ones - such as Harold Adams and Bill
Pronzini. In
general, the Shamus has accorded hardboiled literature much
more
importance than the Edgar.
Now the question: Would Walter Mosley's Easy Rawlins qualify
as a P.I.?
