I second that emotion - Bruen's one of a kind.
Other books - THE DEATH OF SWEET MISTER by Daniel Woodrell is
essential for anyone with noir tastes. CYPRESS GROVE by James
Sallis is another strong contender. And as for a resurgence
in noir, I would point you to anything by Jason Starr (most
notably his recent TWISTED CITY) and for anything on this
side of the pond, I think Al Guthrie's doing splendid work
(TWO WAY SPLIT was a much-needed shot in the arm for British
crime fiction) and Charlie William's debut DEADFOLK, which is
certainly one of the best noir books I've read this
year.
Oh yeah, and THE BIG BLIND. Yeah, okay, right...
