>Also: he gave Tom Franklin's Hell at the Breech,
which could also be called
country noir, a great review in the Post Book World in
2003.
Spotted this book remaindered yesterday so may have to go
back and pick up a copy. I've got a copy of Franklin's book
of short stories, Poachers, which from the title might fall
under country noir. If I put them with the several Woodrells
that I haven't read along with Vicki H, Brad Smith and some
James Lee Burke and Crumley, I guess I have a collection of
country noir. However, I wouldn't put Gerry Boyle in that
category.
While it isn't noir, the Peter Bowen series set in Montana
featuring Metis fiddler and cattle inspector Gabriel Du Pre
qualifies as country and is a favourite of mine.
