Great reviews, Karin. I read Homes's BUILD MY GALLOWS HIGH,
and I thought it was well done. It's got a lot of the classic
noir props. I can't seem to locate a DVD of the movie
version, Out of the Past. I'll try and write a review before
the month is out.
Interesting that Gardner knew the California desert. The high
desert, like Joshua Tree, is really spectacular. Lower you go
the hotter it gets.
I've got that beautiful four-novel collection of Brown's from
Stewart Masters. I've sort of slipped into the Fifties, but
when I finish Willeford's WILD WIVES, Brown is next.
