*Elmore Leonard: "Freaky Deaky" (for example)
*Charles Willeford: "Miami Blues" ("The Shark-Infested
Custard" or "The
Burnt Orange Heresy" would be great for a non-mystery)
*James Lee Burke ("Black Cherry Blues" or "The Lost Get Back
Boogie",
the latter recently reissued in mass paperback, thus cheap
and widely
available. A hardboiled non-mystery.)
*Jon Jackson (whatever is widely available, or simply
available; I don't
know how he has fared with the buying public)
*K.C. Constantine: "Joey's Case" (for example - I pick this
one because
it it particularly hardboiled and even more spectacular than
his other
novels)
By the way, a number of Latimer novels have been reissued
by
International Polygonics and are available. Also, No Exit
Press has
reissued his works.
Regards, and excuse yet another list. The list is quiet, so a
little
noise won't wake up the fedoras and fedorettes (polka-dot
boleros?).
Best,
Mario Taboada (whom some absurd internet character keeps
accusing, in
rather crude terms, of really being K.C. Constantine - I hope
this
person is not in this list!)
