The other day someone mentioned Philip Atlee as a good
hardboiled spy novelist. I agree. THE GREEN WOUND (later
retitledTHE GREEN WOUND CONTRACT) impressed me a lot when I
first read it. It's the first Gold Medal novel about Joe Gall,
but it's actually the second Gall book. The first is a
third-person novel published by, I think, Dell. At any rate,
Atlee was one of those guys who actually did visit all the
locales he wrote about. There was a great interview with him in
ESPIONAGE magazine some years ago.
