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

Mister"

> Both got three mentions. Jason Starr's "Twisted
City" got two mentions, as
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.
