years ago now!) Mr. Dante and Mr. Blumenthal took votes for
the best characters from books and stories. The top 100 ended
up having 111 names on it, with the top five being Philip
Marlowe, Sam Spade, The Continental Op, Lew Archer, and
Matthew Scudder and Parker tied at five. For easy reference I
put the whole list here:

If we did it now I bet some Ken Bruen characters would be in
there.
