Since we did the tally of "blown away" hard-boiled/noir
writers last century
(which I enjoyed immensely), I'm proposing that we do a
similar thing of the novels that blew you away. So, throwing
caution to the wind, here are my five in no parituclar
order.
1) The Postman Always Rings Twice/James M. Cain 2) Pop.
1230/Jim Thompson 3) Wild Wives/Charles Willeford 4) They
Shoot Horses, Don't They?/Horace McCoy 5) Cons/Timothy
Watts
