I think this is the date and group to ask this question as
its answer would involve looking back for those who reply and
perhaps plannning ahead for people who want ideas for new
books.
What established hard boiled authors have ever you read wose
work that so blew you away on first exposure that you tried
to find and then read all they had written as soon as
possible? To make sure there are not really long lists, let's
hold down the number to five.
My answers would be pretty conventional: Hammett Chandler
Ross MacDonald Ross Thomas Crais
I would have Richard Stark as my fifth if author's using
pseudonyms are considered separate. Mark
