I just reread his masterpiece _Cutter and Bone_, after
finding it in a box of miscellaneous crime stuff. This has
got to be one of the best hardboiled novels of all time. This
second time around it seemed even better. I am going to have
to revise my Top Ten to include it. It deserves it. And the
other Thornburgs are not far behind: not a prolific author
but one who worked at a very high level. You can file
Thornburg with Willeford, he's that good.
Best,
