James Crumley recommends

The Blind Pig (1978) (Detective Sergeant Mulheisen, book 2) Jon A Jackson "Jon Jackson's THE BLIND PIG is without a doubt one of the finest detective novels ever written - smart, funny and completely convincing. I've re-read the novel a dozen times and it's always a great read. It's one of my favorites."	Red Baker (1985) Robert Ward " A truly awesome achievement, a paean of power and intensity directed toward a too often forgotten group, those American refugees so cruelly displaced by the raw greed and economic convulsions in the heavy steel industry. Red Baker is a remarkable novel."	The Guards (2001) (Jack Taylor, book 1) Ken Bruen "The Guards is an astounding novel, a poetic account of a desperation as deep as the North sea, retribution and resurrection. It�s so good I can�t think of it as a crime novel. Its a fine book with some crime."
The Dark Streets (2006) (Jack Liffey, book 9) John Shannon "The landscape of Los Angeles, both actually and metaphorically, has been deconstructed by writers from Chandler to Didion, but never quite as artfully as John Shannon does it."	Walla Walla Suite: A Room with No View (2007) Anne Argula "A wonderful novel - smart, funny, and remarkably humane."	Lone Creek (2007) (Hugh Davoren, book 1) Neil McMahon "Lone Creek is a lovely novel, smart and exciting, set in a landscape that throbs with beauty. I loved it."
