A word on A. W. (Bill) Gray: he should be added to the list
of ex-con writers. He was in federal prison, I believe, and
he has some great stories about writing his first book
(sneaking into an office with an old Underwood typewriter on
which the ribbon spool wouldn't turn and having another con
stand beside the desk and turn the spool by hand, for one
thing). The Bino books (the first one is BINO) aren't exactly
hardboiled but might be of interest to some readers on this
list.
