I was thinking the other day that we could do this a Mike
Shayne year. Maybe not a very good idea, but we could start
with the early ones, graduate through the fourties and
fifties and finally get to those ghosted by Ryerson Johnson,
Robert Terrall, Michael Collins, James Reasoner and other
people. Hmm.. very definitive maybe on that.
But "Too Friendly, Too Dead" was a very good one. As you
remember, this one was by Michael Collins and it was like
"Act of Fear" without Dan Fortune sermoning.
