Sitting here with the book in front of me, it quite clearly
attributes the quote to SHOOTERS, if you actually begin to
read the quotes you see, in larger type, : "Praise for
Terrill Lankford's SHOOTERS". Followed by an impressive array
of quotes including at least four superstar authors of the
genre, aside from Ellroy, guys like Parker, Connelly &
Petievich. Oh & there's another blurb by Ed Bunker in the
inside front leaf of the dustjacket. Wow. No wonder Hollywood
came knocking. Pardon my ignorance, you may/probably have
written about it before but how did the film of SHOOTERS go?
Has it been made & are you happy with the result? I think
the edition I have is the US first edition, Forge, 1997,
assuming I've interpreted the info. correctly.I wouldn't
describe the blurbs as misleading, no more than standard
practices allow. Once you're actually reading the blurbs, if
you haven't already noticed, it's obvious they refer to
SHOOTERS. (So, again, my faulty memory is at issue here. All
my e-mails should carry a banner proclaiming: "Warning: All
assertions & matters of fact stated are to be considered
only approximately correct and may involve a fallibility
factor of up to 100%". Or somesuch)
