Frederic Brown has at least one story in an asylum--it's
reprinted in the Dennis McMillan trade paperback Homicide
Sanitarium, which is a fun collection. For those of you in
Beltway Virginia (Anthony?), the Alexandria library has a
copy.
On Howard Browne, I agree with the recent assessments of the
Paul Pine books.
They are knock-offs of Chandler that flirt with
outdoing the master. Thin Air, on the other hand, I found
less strong. My reservations are similar to those I had about
Fearing's The Big Clock. The privileged white collar media/ad
guy protagonist didn't do a lot for me--something like
that.
