MENACED ASSASSIN, is the first in the series."
Menaced Assassin is a standalone. The Gypsy DKA novels are 32
Cadillacs and Cons, Grifts and Scams (the order of those
three words may not be right). I think there were also a
short story or two. These later DKA Files, while still
rigorous in the detectives' methods, are more comedic
(often hilariously so) than the darker, earlier ones. To give
you an idea, one of the early novels (don't feel like getting
up to check which one) featured a crossover with Parker
(character, not author), while 32 Cadillacs shares a scene
with the Dortmunder Gang.
"I was looking for more Gores on my bookshelf and I think I
saw one titled DEAD MAN, and although I didn't see it, if
memory serves me correct I have another one called COME
MORNING."
Both standalones, both very good, but what by Gores
isn't?
