I ranked Crumley high in influence on today's PI/crime
writers because he is one of those who is always mentioned
with admiration by other writers. That view is well summed up
by something I read by Laura Lippman:
"When young crime writers and not-so-young crime writers
gather, they invariably end up making their nominations for
the Hall of Fame, the ones who should be listed alongside
Chandler, Macdonald and Hammett. James Crumley always makes
it on the first ballot. He is simply that good, that
essential."
