Re: RARA-AVIS: The best in noir

Ah, now hang on a second, Juri. Your original post asked for nominations, not votes. Now that I know we're voting, I vote for "Twisted City", "The Guards", "Gun Monkeys" and "Ice Harvest." I haven't read "The Death of Sweet Mister." I'm sure I'd vote for several of the single nominees too, if you'd care to remind me who they are.

You might find this online preview of CrimeSpree 4 of interest. There's a bunch of authors' best reads of 2004, many of which are contemporary hardboiled/noir. http://www.crimespreemag.com/sneakpeek4.html

did Ken Bruen's "The Guards" and Victor Gischler's "Gun Monkeys". Scott Phillips got two nominations for his "Ice Harvest". The other ones got only one nomination. If anyone's interested in the list, I can put it in the files or post it to the group.
