Bill Pronzini recommends
You'll Die Next! (1954) Harry Whittington "Of all the writers who specialized in soft-cover originals during the paperback boom of the 1950s, Harry Whittington was certainly the 'king'." | Wolf Moon (1993) Ed Gorman "Ed Gorman is a true original in the Western field...And Wolf Moon is one of his best...Suspenseful, savage, and a whole lot more." | .44 (1997) H A DeRosso "H. A. DeRosso is a poet of the Western shadowlands." | |
Memorial Day (2004) (Mick Callahan) Harry Shannon "I enjoyed Memorial Day from first page to last. Mick Callahan is my kind of character - flawed and vulnerable, tanaceous and likeable. His debut is a fast, edgy, twisty, modern noir thriller with an expertly realized desert setting." |
