I don't know if he's the "greatest...of them all" but he's
usually my pick for the most underrated writer of his era. In
a just world, he'd have had the career Robert Parker had (and
vice versa).
I also like Arthur Lyons a lot too, although Lyons wrote his
fair share of duff books, and I've never met a Greenleaf I
didn't like.
