I really liked Miami Purity too. Yet for some reason I
haven't taken time to check out any of Hendricks other works.
Since Dave mentions it, I'll try to obtain a copy of
Voluntary Madness. Any other titles of Ms. Hendricks worth
checking out? Thanks, Steve Harbin

Tapani,
I agree with you on Miami Purity. You should try Voluntary
Madness also, a neat updating of the Bonnie & Clyde
story. What I like about Miami Purity (other than the
terrific writing) is as psychotic as Payne turns out to be,
he's no match for Cherie. I love the ending of this one.
We're actually in the middle of interviewing Vicki for the
next issue of Hardluck Stories. It should be a good
one!
