************** Allowing for the inevitable exception to every
rule, I would still have to disagree with this statement.
Anderson's THIEVES LIKE US, Homes's BUILD MY GALLOWS HIGH,
Gresham's NIGHTMARE ALLEY, Willeford's WILD WIVES, and
Whitfield's GREEN ICE all have the scent of noir to them, and
all involve professionals who take the dive.
The power of the noir world is not so weak as to only be able
to prey upon the amateurs and innocents.
