difficult to find a job... he's such a noble figure and one of my
all-time favorite crime-fiction heroes.<<
Fortlow is a great favorite of mine, too. Perfectly developed
character, tough, tender, likable, and very much a creature of his
city. I would say that with Always Outnumbered, Always Outgunned,
Mosley reached his classicism.
