My list won't be very original...
Bruen Charlie Huston and you should put on the list Charlie
Williams (I'm a huge fan of Royston Blake)
But where is Georges Pelecanos (for his books and for The
Wire) ???????? AD

Charles Willeford--while he wrote from 50s to the 80s,
his writing is as contemporary as anyone's, and more
of his books are now resurfacing (and hopefully
Grimhaven will!)

I agree. I can't think of anyone who has approached
his best in the last ten years. James Ellroy wrote
The Black Dahlia in 1987. Cormac McCarthy wrote Blood
Meridian in 1992. I have read Crais and enjoyed him
but wasn't compelled to read more.
I've read very little hardboiled or noir written in
the last ten years that I've found truly outstanding.
Most contemporary writers in the genres are finished
for me after one novel.
