Hi Bill, I started off with THE MAMMOTH BOOK OF PRIVATE EYE
STORIES to get a feel for the genre. Since then I've read
FREAK and MINNESOTA STRIP by Michael Collins, EIGHT MILLION
WAYS TO DIE and A TICKET TO THE BONE YARD by Robert Block,
RED HARVEST by Hammett, LITTLE SISTER by Chandler, THE
MONKEY'S RAINCOAT and STALKING THE ANGEL by Robert Crais,
EVERYBODY HAD A GUN and HAVE GAT WILL TRAVEL by Richard
Prather, and ONE LONELY NIGHT by Mickey Spillane. I really
like Robert Block and Michael Collins. Right now I'm in the
middle of THE MAMMOTH BOOK OF PULP FICTION. I have a lot of
others in my 'to read' pile, and I'll need something for a
long road trip. I'm thinking either BLACK ECHO by Michael
Connelly or FAREWELL MY LOVELY by Chandler. Any
thoughts?
