I am in total agreement there. The Paul Pine books were one
of, if not the first PI series I read after Chandler and
Hammett. The Halo books blew me away. Then I searched for
years before finding a copy of A Taste for Ashes. It was even
better.
Browne's non-series book Thin Air was also impressive and was
the basis of an episode of both Rockford Files and Simon
& Simon, one of which Browne co-wrote (I forget which
one, but I think it was S & S).
