read "A White Arrest," the first of the trilogy, and I'm
sorry I waited so long. It's nasty, brutal, and short. It has
more riffs on popular culture than I could count, along with
plenty of dark humor.

Oh yeah, Bill, it is big hard-boiled nasty fun. I wish I
could read the trilogy again for the first time.
I think Bruen has a newish book about the folks in the White
Trilogy. Can't recall the title right off, though.
A big surprise to me is that our local library has these
books. When so much of their fiction stacks are filled with
popular best-sellers and odd academically lit'ry selections,
I just have to scratch my head when I come across treasures
like these.
