Re Mark's Question below:
"I've never heard of this book." [Joel Townley Rogers's *The
Red
Right Hand*] "Has anyone read it? What kind of mystery is it?
And
is it that good?"
It's not hard-boiled, though I guess it could be called
noir.
Certainly it recalls Woolrich, but it's much more tightly
plotted
than Woolrich usually was. Westlake may overstate the case a
bit,
but *The Red Right Hand* is one helluva read. I'd recommened
it.
Since it's been through many reprintings (including a couple
of
"classic mystery novels' series), it shouldn't be hard to
find. -
