I actually like Pronzini's writing. But if he really thinks
hard-boiled is dead, maybe someone should tell him to shut up
and read his own books. A WASTELAND OF STRANGERS might be a
good place to start. What complete bollocks.
Really, this is the equivalent of Springsteen pausing in
mid-concert, sweat dripping off him, clutching his guitar, to
announce that rock'n'roll is dead, before counting off and
crashing back into ROSALITA.
