Have you read Domenic Stansberry's "Manifesto for the Dead"?
The protagonist is Jim Thompson in LA writing a book for
producer of B movies to be marketed with a movie. Not the
greatest piece of writing you'll ever read, but worth it
nonetheless. I've only read "After Dark, My Sweet" and "The
Killer Inside Me" by Mr. Thompson so far so I'm not a good
judge of the voice found in Stansberry's work in regards to
the parts that are being written by the character Thompson. A
good job capturing the film noir feel though.
