I hit the Goodwill Booksale this morning. I checked out the
records first. I didn't do that well there (the highlights
were a Funkadelic 12" and American Breed's Bend Me Shape Me
LP), so I probably should have gone straight to the
books.
Anyway, I got a few things I thought I'd check with the
list:
A paperback of Random Walk by Lawrence Block -- I know it's
long out of print, now available through iUniverse, but what
the hell is it? I realize it's not hardboiled, but has anyone
read it? How is it?
Black Gangster by Donald Goines -- although I have Dopefiend,
I've never read him. Any particularly recommended?
Love is a Racket by John Ridley -- I've read Stray Dogs and
enjoyed it
(never saw the movie though, I'm not a fan of Oliver
Stone)
Trace and 47 Miles of Rope by Warren Murphy -- I've read the
Digger books and the first Trace and thought they were fun,
but didn't keep up with them. I know I could look it up on
your site, Kevin, but how many Trace books were there?
Don't Go Away Dead: An Original X Rated Peter Chambers
Mystery by Henry Kane
