Hello Everyone
Along a similar vein as recent discussions of specific
subsets of noir, I was wondering if anyone is aware of any
archaeological noir that's out there, either stand alones or
series. I am an archaeologist that specializes in the study
of prehistoric stone tools excavated in the American
Southwest, so I'm curious if any archaeological noirs exist
and if they are any good.
I know that there are some very non-noir series such as Lyn
Hamilton's Lara McClintoch books and some series that often
have noirish elements like Jonathan Gash's Lovejoy or even
Tony Hillerman's Joe Leaphorn/Jim Chee novels. I've also
heard about William Arden's Charles Ramsay books but have
never read any so I have no idea if they are even remotely
noir in nature.
If anyone has any suggestions for some good reads in that
fall into the relatively small niche of archaeological noir,
I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance. Harry
