******** Thanks, Mark. I've read a little about it but it's
good to hear a personal recommendation. I got the idea that
the story might evolve around a real event where several Jews
were murdered. Total rumor beyond that is that Greene was
involved in the real event. I believe his biographer Sheldon
implied it.
Just yesterday I finished THIS GUN FOR HIRE. It seemed to
more closely fit the hardboiled/noir tag. I enjoyed it more,
too. Promise not to tell Al that I read more than two by the
same author.
