What So Funny? is his most recent Dortmunder novel, I enjoyed
it. I checked it out of the library, the rest I own.
Killy is both very tough and psychological, definitely hard
boiled. The main character becomes an intern for Walter Killy
at a union, they go to a town to recruit the shoe factory's
workers into their union. I bought it used from/via
Amazon.
