I would suggest you go to the library and see if you can find
these. My
fondest memories of my grandfather (who would probably not
have liked
Moseley) was taking me to town to buy the lastest Gardner or
Chase or
Coxe. This poses a question (which is easier answered than
what is
hardboiled) which will answer this question posed by Duane,
how do you
think books have "traveled" over the years. Did I just think
Moseley was
good because it was his first? Or did I like Gardner/Fair
because I have
"fond" memories of them and am looking back? Was John D. as
good as we
thought? Was Donald Hamilton really so politically incorrect?
What about
Spillane and where does he fit into "incorrectness"? Is that
why BLACK
ALLEY not do well; it was too "old-timey".
