This time it's favorites and novels of prime value, IMHO, and
trying to avoid repeats compared to previous messages from
Avians:
KENTUCKY STRAIGHT - Cris Offut (but I suppose you already
know) MANIFESTO FOR THE DEAD- Domenic Stansberry TRINITY -
Nick Toshes HEAT WAVE - Timothy Harris (he's the good Harris)
ALWAYS OUTNUMBERED, ALWAYS OUTGUNNED - Walter Mosley COSMIC
BANDITOS - A.C.Weisbecker (H-B quantum physics) SWEET CHEAT
(1960) - Peter Duncan BLOOD AND THUNDER - Max Allan Collins
NEON MIRAGE - Max Allan Collins A RAGE IN HARLEM - Chester
Himes (and the rest of his Harlem cops series) THE KINGDOM OF
JOHNNY COOL - John McPartland I'LL SEE YOU IN HELL - John
McPartland THE BUTTERFLY - James M. Cain FLIGHT OF AN ANGEL -
Verne Chute (a now forgotten classic) HELL CAN'T WAIT - Harry
Whittington THE END OF THE NIGHT - John D. MacDonald
British: THE TRAIN RIDE (1966) - Peter Loughran (an absolute
must)
Translations: THE SCAPEGOAT - Daniel Pennac THE FAIRY
GUNMOTHER - Daniel Pennac
*Manuel Vasquez Montalban: his series with Pepe Cavalho, try
A LIVELY FORM OF DEATH. Unfortunately, all of his bests in
the series were not translated in English (unless you read
Spanish)
*Rolo Diez: the short series with his Mexican cop Carlos
Hernandes 1999/2000- unusual approach of cop attitudes and
life. (sorry could not find the English titles) Or in another
sort of noir, his picaresque-soap LUNA DE ESCARLATA-
1994
(Scarlet Moon)
*L鯠Malet - anything still available in English, series with
his PI Nestor Burma
Could we ask that you, Vicky, to indicate some writers and
books you did'nt see in Avians' lists and that you consider
as very good value or favorite of yours?
