Mark,
Re your recent acquisitions below:
"The Men from the Boys by Ed Lacy"
Ed Lacy wrote good, hard, fast-moving cop stories. Many
regard this as one of his best.
"The Taming of Carney Wilde by Bart Spicer"
The penultimate (and, to many, the best) entry in one of the
best, and most underrated PI series of the
'50's. Interesting thing about Wilde is that he starts off
following the "Marlowe Paradigm" in every respect, but he
doesn't stay there. By TAMING, his little hole-in-the-wall
one man shop has grown into one of the largest and most
succesful security companies in Pennsylvania, and he's
contemplating marriage.
"Cases by Joe Gores"
Several early short stories based, like the DKA series, on
his professional experiences as a PI, fused together as a
pcaresque novel.
"For Murder I Charge More by Frank McAuliffe"
Though it's a collection of short stories rather than a
novel, it won the 1971 Edgar for Best Paperback Original
Novel.
Hope that inof helps.
JIM DOHERTY
