[SNIP]
I agree with the valuation 'pabergin' gave about KISS
TOMORROW GOOD BYE by H McCoy, and about his analysis
of its qualities he gave.
When I saw the type of despising criticism addressed
to that book by at least two followers, I will
finally think like Bill Crider (?) that there are two
versions of that novel; I however could not find
traces to sustain this double publishing.
It's like if ' papergin', myself (and others in the
list, apparently)have read a different book than the
ones who despises it.
I could understand they do not like it. That's a
personal opinion. But on a literary ground, denying
any value to it is above my head...
And for the remark about James Cain : yes Mc Coy,
even if different, is at least as valuable as Cain in
the history of HB/Noir literature.
McCoy was for a long time totally underrated,
especially in the USA.
So this explains probably that...
