This is my last day w/ access to Rara Avis until the middle
of September as work is taking me out of town for about 20
days or so. I bring this up because I hope to work my way
through a few police procedurals during the down times I have
while away. My list includes the following:
- One of McBain's 87th Precinct novels. I've never read
McBain before(gasp!) and the spirit of the month mandates I
give him a whirl.
- Something by Wambaugh. I worked my way through his canon
one summer in college and loved it. THE GLITTER DOME and THE
SECRETS OF HARRY BRIGHT were my favorites. To ignore Wambaugh
during PP month borders on ludicrous.
- SUICIDE HILL by Ellroy. Another one I've read before. It
definitely fits into the DIN category (who came up w/ that
again? I like it).
- THE INTEROGATION by Thomas Cook. Under Doherty's Dogma, I
believe this one can qualify as a precedural.
Best to all. I'll look forward to returning some good
discussions. Chris
