A while back James Reasoner mentioned De Rosso as a western
writer who might be of interest. I read a De Rosso book and
liked it enough to read another one, which I just finished.
44 is a terrific noir western, just about as dark as they
come, and I recommend it to anyone who'd like to see how
westerns and noir mix. My copy is an old Lion Book from the
early 1950s, but I believe this title was reprinted by
Leisure Books not so long ago.
(Note to Richard Moore: the title [.44] refers to the caliber
of the main character's pistol, not to measurements of any
other kind.)
