Well, some of these are more hardboiled/noir than others, and
I know I'm going to miss some of my favourites because my
memory doesn't stretch back as far as 2000 (actually, I'm
having trouble with last week) but here goes:
Ken Bruen - anything and everything Eddie Muller - THE
DISTANCE and SHADOW BOXER Allan Guthrie - TWO-WAY SPILT David
Corbett - THE DEVIL'S REDHEAD and DONE FOR A DIME Sean
Doolittle - DIRT (it's also funny - hope it still counts!)
Victor Gischler - GUN MONKEYS (haven't yet read Pistol poets)
Scott Phillips - THE ICE HARVEST Jason Starr - HARD FEELINGS,
TOUGH LUCK and TWISTED CITY Declan Burke - EIGHT BALL BOOGIE
Mark T Conard - DARK AS NIGHT Simon Kernick - THE BUSINEES OF
DYING, THE MURDER EXCHANGE, and THE CRIME TRADE Kevin Wignall
- FOR THE DOGS Charlie Stella - CHARLIE OPERA (another
humourous one) Daniel Woodrell - DEATH OF SWEET MISTER
Richard Aleas - LITTLE GIRL LOST David Bowker - THE DEATH YOU
DESERVE (which is also humourous and just a little bit
weird)
And then there are 3 soon to be published: Duane
Swierczwynski's - SECRET DEAD MEN (also funny and bizarre)
Ray Banks' - THE BIG BLIND Reed Farrell Coleman's - THE JAMES
DEANS
I know I'm going to send this and then kick myself for
missing something, but...
Cheers,
Donna
