writer to
watch. Is like the "old" PI's. I can't stand all the newbie's
who have
lots of personal problems and don't keep their minds on
business. My
second fave is probably Loren Estleman's Amos Walker.
> fact, the three finest writers to my mind today are
Walter Moseley, Jim Sallis and Richard Barre. (Sallis has a
new book out from Walker,

morning.)
Sallis's is Eye of the Cricket. I love the N'awlins
atmosphere in this
series.
All three share a

I know we aren't supposed to say "me, too" so I'll say
"ditto".
