Some time ago there was a question on the list about whether
or not there'd ever been any hard-boiled PI novels published
for the Evangelical Market.
Advertised in the latest issues of both MYSTERY SCENE and
CRIMESPREE is the latest book by a writer named Brandt
Dodson, a self-proclaimed fan of Hammett and Chandler, who's
written three novels about a hard-boiled PI named Colton
Parker for the Evangelical Christian publisher Harvest
House.
His website's here:
if anyone's interested.
Haven't read the books, so can't comment on them, but, as
described, the Parker character seemed to fit most of the
elements of the "Marlowe Pradigm," and Dodson makes it clear
that he's trying to combine his religious convictions with
the Hammett/Chandler traditions.
