David,
Thank you so much for the bookshelf! I love knowing that my
reading list will never diminish, and I value this list for
just that reason.
I know Archer, Rankin, Bolitar and Rawlins quite well (and I
adore them each). Likewise, I'm familiar with McBain. All of
the others are completely new to me, so I'm indebted to you
for the hat tip.
Best Regards,
-H.G. Lee
