Talk about timing. The two latest issues of Crime Time
arrived in the mail from England Friday with pieces on Graham
Hurley, David Peace, Gerald Kersh and the acclaimed Dark by
Kenji Jasper. On Friday, I also picked up a copy of Crime
Unlimited by David Hume (1943), described as "a breathlessly
exciting thriller of London gangsters who make a specialized
business of crime - smash-and-grab raids, holdups and even
murders" and Quintin Jardine's Thursday Legends about the
murder of a Scottish football (soccer) player. I think heard
somewhere that the World Cup is underway. And I am off to
Yorkshire and London in mid-July. Sitting near the top of my
TBR stack are Poet in the Gutter by John Baker, Jake Arnott's
The Long Firm, Dougie Brimson's The Crew, The Chalon Heads by
Barry Maitland and a couple of Mark Timlins and Val
McDermids. Any suggestions where I should start?
