Maybe now, but I first read Chinaman's Chance before Leonard
had his breakthrough, so the comparison wouldn't have sold
many copies. As a matter of fact, I always thought of
Leonard's post-paperback-original books, particularly his
Miami books, when he started using multiple plotlines, in
terms of Thomas. I also thought of Thomas Perry's Metzger's
Dog as an homage to Thomas.
