I'll second Burnt Orange being his best with Springer maybe a
close second, however, his memoirs, specifically, Something
About A Soldier and I Was Looking For A Street are crucial in

********** I agree that his two memiors (that's how it's
spelled on the cover of my copy) provide good background on
the Willeford. It's been a while since I read them, but I
recall them roughly being divided between his youth riding
the rails during the depression and his time in the Army
stationed in the Philippines (sp?). There's a lot that is way
into politically incorrect, so prepare to be offended if you
come from that side of the street. My impression of him from
these two books is that he was genuinely hardboiled.
