I've read a few of his novels and enjoyed them all, none more
so than the dystopian 'One'. I enjoyed 'Brotherhood' --
didn't notice a lack of suspense and the blackmail element
was crime enough for me. But 'Hardman' might be more to your
taste, Jeff. The protagonist is a nasty bastard of a pulp
writer. I also liked 'Cry Flesh' a lot -- it's a sort of
early medical chiller.
