I also picked up The Mean Streets by Thomas B. Dewey. I read
some of his PI novels years ago. This one features a cop and
looks like a JD exploitation book. Is it any good?
The Mean Streets is told in first-person by Dewey's private
eye, Mac. Yes, there are JDs in the novel, but it goes a
little deeper than that. Almost every PI writer gets the "new
Raymond Chandler" quote, but I think Dewey and Howard Brown
(with his Paul Pine) are the authors who really did come
close to Chandler. Dick Lochte
