The Washington Post printed a rave review of David Corbett
today. Seems he's a former San Francisco PI, just like
Dashiell Hammett (and Joe Gores). They were positive with
reservations about his first book, The Devil's Redhead, just
out in paperback. However, they couldn't say enough good
about his new one, concluding:
"There are no saints in this angry, gritty, uncompromising
novel. Although 'Done for a Dime' is immensely readable, it
may be too harsh, too painful, for some readers, but if you
are looking for the best in contemporary crime fiction, this
is it."
Has anyone here read it? Is it really this good?
