"I am waiting for Michael Connelly, master of suspense, to apply himself
to Hollywood (I mean directly as a theme)."
And John replied:
"and I like reminding people who haven't read them, that Terrill
Lankford's terrific contemporary noir thrillers Earthquake Weather and
Blonde Lightning are set in that world, and nail it cold."
You beat me to it.
"few are the places and cultures in the first world as inherently noir
as Hollywood"
Which raises an interesting question: What are the great hardboiled
and/or noir Hollywood novels?
