Some guy is selling all 12 of the Hardman books on eBay. No
takers so far, but at under 3 bucks a book, this is a pretty
good deal. I know that Richard Moore met Dennis a time or
two. Here's what the seller has to say:
"Ralph Dennis (died 1988) was an excellent writer, who was
poorly marketed and never developed the following he
deserved. I've read that Dennis worked at a used book store
in Atlanta (Oxford Books) and died broke in his sleep on a
cot in the back room of a bar. He was a serious drinker who
knew the streets from his own down-and-out life. That may
explain why his stories are so good - he knew the alley life
and it helped him make his story backgrounds absolutely
authentic."
