DUST DEVILS was indeed outstanding.
THE ROAD by Cormac McCarthy was stunning...but that may have
fallen in last year's reading.
Probably THE CRIMES OF JORDAN WISE (Bill Pronzini) was the
best Gold Medal'ish novel I read this year. It's certainly
the one that stuck with me the longest, with DUST DEVILS a
solid second place.
