In a recent post on heist novels, I mentioned a few of my
favorite recent writers. But I thought I'd mention a few
non-heist writers, too. Well, I mentioned Bruen, but gotta
mention him again, as have so many others. Can't get enough
of him, so I'm lucky he writes at such a breakneck
pace.
It seems that Charlie Huston is trying to match his output.
His second book of the year, fourth in two comes out in a few
weeks. Can't wait. I'm thoroughly enjoying both of his
series. I'm also looking forward to the anthologized version
of his Moon Knight comic, which is scheduled for early next
year.
Has Dominic Stansberry been mentioned? I wasn't the biggest
fan of The Confession (not for the controversial point of
view, but for the transparency of the gimmick), but was
really impressed by The Last Days of Il Duce and Chasing the
Dragon.
Not that new, but new in English translation, Jean-Paul
Manchette blew me away. Wish someone was translating more of
his work. Also did liked Total Chaos by Izzo, recently picked
up the second in the series.
