I'm probably a little bit responsible for the reputation of
Black Wings Has My Angel. About 35 years ago (!) I wrote an
article for a fanzine called The Mystery Readers' Newsletter
and discussed some paperback originals.
I think I called Black Wings the archetypal Gold Medal
novel. Max Allan Collins picked up on that, and he's been a
big booster of the book as well.
I haven't read the book since that time, and maybe it's
not as good as I thought it was, but it seems to me that it
had everything a great Gold Medal book should have. I'll have
to see if I can find the article, one of these days.
