I had a nice weekend for picking up new books of interest. I
had no idea that Domenic Stansberry had released a follow-up
to Chasing the Dragon last year, which is a tad
embarrasssing. It's called THE BIG BOOM and it's set in San
Francisco during the height of the dot-com craze. This is a
worthy follow-up to his previous book featuring Dante
Pelicano; Stansberry creates a, uh, dark and sinister
atmosphere as well as anyone going. Highly recommended.
I have Ken Bruen's THE PRIEST and a new one from Joe Lansdale
on deck from the local library, but I couldn't resist also
getting the final book in Charlie Huston's Hank Thompson
Trilogy, which I'm looking forward to greatly.
Also: I saw a new one from David Corbett called Blood of
Paradise. Has anyone read this? I thought Done for a Dime was
extraordinary so am looking forward to reading his latest at
some point soon.
