Having lived in the Washington, DC-area for a long time and
followed Mr. Yardley's review columns, I was surprised and
enhearted to see him mention Mosley, Willeford, Pelecanos,
Lippman, Higgins, and others. Given the small space (4K
words, I think) he had to write in, he touched on some of the
noteworthy authors, but certainly not all of them. It was
good ink for PI novels and crime fiction.
