SHAME THE DEVIL, the latest, gets my vote and extra points
because one of the characters is reading a novel by A.I.
Bezzarides. I'd never heard of the author and was curious to
see if he really existed. I found a book called THEIVE'S
MARKET, which turned out to be a pretty good read. It'S about
California produce truckers in 1940's. Bezzerides also wrote
THE LONG HAUL, which was made into the Raoul Walsh film, THEY
DRIVE BY NIGHT.
Funny how one thing leads to another...
