IMO, Hunt wrote a very good series under the penname Robert
Dietrich.
"House on Q Street," "Angel Eyes," "Murder on the Rocks" and
others feature D.C. accountant Steve Bentley. Well-plotted,
witty dialogue. It's been a while since I've read them, but
remember enjoying them very much. That was before I knew that
Dietrich was Hunt. Don't know if that knowledge would make
any difference either way. As I recall, the books were sort
of a mix of Chandler wiseguy dialogue with Ross Thomas'
knowledge of how things work.
