I don't think this got mentioned on the list. I saw it on
Sarah Weinman's blog at http://www.sarahweinman.com/
(which is one to follow, and where Mr. Starr recently held
guest control):

LaLumiere says the list "is my personal 'top 50' noir books
-- including collections and novels -- regardless of primary
genre affiliation: horror, crime, SF, 'mainstream', etc."
There's quite a bit of SF on the list, and at least one book
I seriously disagree with (Donna Tartt's THE SECRET HISTORY).
He's missing a number of writers I'm sure most of us would
add just because he hasn't read them yet, but what's there is
interesting and looks like great reading.
