Killshot was the first EL book I read and I wondered what the
big deal was. It was only after I went back to the Detroit
novels of the 70s that I got it.
Also, I consider Hard Revolution to be one of the weaker
George Pelecanos novels. GP is without a doubt my favorite
author and I was looking forward to this one (even
anticipating it based on the hints provided in pevious
books). This is not to put down HR, but just to say I would
put a different GP book on my list of top thrillers.
Of course, lists like this are made to generate controversy,
so I would be very much interested to hear which books others
would put on there list. My list would have to include books
by the usual suspects: Pelecanos, Sallis, Mosely, Lehane,
Bruen, Price, etc.
