> What do you recommend for 1970s reading?
Leaving out those authors you've already mentioned, Bill,
leaves me with the following:
THE FRIENDS OF EDDIE COYLE: George V Higgins 1970 GET CARTER:
Ted Lewis 1970 THE FOOLS IN TOWN ARE ON OUR SIDE: Ross Thomas
1970 NOBODY KNEW THEY WERE THERE: Evan Hunter 1971 DEATH
WISH: Brian Garfield 1972 CATERPILLAR COP: James McClure 1972
LET'S HEAR IT FOR THE DEAF MAN: Ed McBain 1973 DEAD CITY:
Shane Stevens 1973 52 PICK-UP: Elmore Leonard 1974 THE
STALKER: Bill Pronzini 1974 THE CHOIRBOYS: Joseph Wambaugh
1975 GUNS: Ed McBain 1976 CUTTER AND BONE: Newton Thornburg
1976 UNKNOWN MAN NO.89: Elmore Leonard 1977 LAIDLAW: William
McIlvanney 1977 FALLING ANGEL: William Hjortsberg 1978 THE
SWITCH: Elmore Leonard1978
I heartily recommend all the above, but if you're going to
choose only one, let it be THE FRIENDS OF EDDIE COYLE. One of
the greatest crime novels ever.
