Richard, for God's sake, please stop reading living authors
before another one dies!
As synchronicity would have it, I am halfway through a
Huggins book myself, 77 Sunset Strip. It is cobbled together
from three stories, the first of which was Death and the
Skylark, the story Richard mentioned. I read Double Take
about a year ago. Huggins really does a nice Chandleresque
turn. Stuart Bailey is similar too, and almost as good as
Huggins' buddy Howard Browne's Paul Pine.
