I've been reading Lucius Shepard's story, "Limbo," in THE
DARK: NEW GHOST STORIES (edited by Ellen Datlow). The primary
character is a hard-boiled former thief (apparently on par
with Parker) who has broken with his former mob and is now
something of a fugitive from both criminals and the
law.
During the course of the story, he claims to he a crime
writer. He reads a James Lee Burke novel. His name is
Shellane, which sounds suspiciously to me like a conflation
of SHELL Scott and Mickey SpiLLANE, but may have some other
resonance I'm not aware of.
