I picked up Browne's Incredible Ink today. Judging by the
snippets I've read, I'm really looking forward to reading his
brief memoirs -- he doesn't hold back when it comes to his
fellow writers -- for instance, he really hated Frank Gruber;
amusing meeting with Chandler.
Anyway, the bibliography lists several books I know nothing
about. Has anyone read these? Any opinions? Are any
hardboiled?
Murder Wears a Halo
If You Have Tears (AKA Weep Not Fair Lady, AKA Lona) -- under
the John Evans name. He describes this as his James M. Cain
book. That sounds intriguing, especially considering how well
he did Chander.
Carbon Copy Killer/Twelve Times Zero -- Supposed to be Sci-Fi
hardboiled?
Scotch on the Rocks
