I had to go to about 4 stores but finally found Flashfire at
a local Borders. Has anyone read Garry Disher? He's an
Australian writer whom Westlake recommends to those who like
the Parker books. Pretty clean, tight, hard-boiled books with
a lead character thief named Wyatt. Michael Stone's books are
pretty good, though I personally felt the second and third
books never lived up to the first one. Since I am constantly
catching up on digests these days and may have missed
something, I apologize if this has already come up, but I
picked up a poster at the local book trade show for a book
called Death on the Cheap by Arthur Lyons. Subtitled The Lost
B Movies of Film Noir, with a foreword by Gerald Petrievich.
I'm presuming this is the Arthur Lyons who wrote the Jacob
Asch mysteries and who we discussed quite a bit at one point
last year. It's out this month, but I haven't seen it
anywhere. Anyone seen or read it and care to weigh in with an
opinion?
