One of them had a lot of action under I-95,* an area I know
well in Philly; another one ranges all the way into
Selinsgrove and the sticks beyond. I don't recall May and
June; he told me he lost his publisher and was working on a
true crime book, so maybe he got a publisher for his fiction.
I'll have to check as soon as I make more TBR space. Each
book had an odd romantic-sexual encounter, which began to
seem a tad creepy by April.
There are certainly lots of noir
possibilities in Philly, but the only other mysteries I can
think of offhand are a lawyer series and a cozy series, plus
a couple of cozies in the burbs, not counting Trenton!
Joy, who wrote a mystery set in Philly but it's much paler
than noir
*It's elevated through much of Philly, especially "the
Neighborhoods"
