I was looking at my books the other day and sort of
rediscovered him. He published a handful of really fine crime
novels in the late 80's and early 90's -- I have Michigan
Roll, Double Down, and Criss-Cross. The first two feature an
interesting re-occuring character, a professional gambler,
and were sort of like a darker-hued Elmore Leonard.
Criss-Cross, in my opinion, is an neglected hardboiled
classic, a great caper novel about a group of thieves who
plot to rob a Wal-Mart type store on Christmas Eve.
Anyway, I think there was one other book and then...nothing.
Does anyone know what happened to him? Is he still writing?
Is he dead?
Thanks in advance, Doug
