Bill,
as mail does not flow normally on my server, maybe I'm outdated with my advice.
Frederic Brown...? By any means you have to read (if not done yet):
'The Night of the Jabberwork' probably his most original novel (published
in the fifties)
Brown is well known and... forgotten for crime/HB. Mainly because he wrote
for different genres (fantastic, SF, crime, HB - even some mix). A pity,
because he is one of the top writers in popular fiction.
He wrote some incredibly efficient thrillers, but I cannot find my
references for the moment.
