"The Confession" is definitely my favorite among the first 6
novels published by Hard Case Crime (with the Cool & Lam
novel, "Top of the Heap," coming in second). "The Confession"
is dark, it's gritty, it's very well-written, and it keeps
the reader guessing till the very last page. "Two for the
Money" by Max Allan Collins was also good, but not nearly as
engaging as "The Confession."
I just picked up the two newest releases from Hard Case
Crime: "Home is the Sailor" by Day Keene, and "Kiss Her
Goodbye" by Allan Guthrie. I'm not familiar with either
author.

Stansberry
Just finished this. Another fine recommendation
from the rare birds on this
list. Classic noir situation with the narrator's
world crumbling around him. Is
he a murderer, even a mass murderer, or just
being framed? It's a short book
but every word is important as the reader gets
inside of Jake Danser's head --
not a pretty place to be.
I enjoyed this even more than Stansberry's
Chasing the Dragon which, as the
first in a proposed series, is nowhere near as
dark as The Confession.
Thanks for the recommendation.
