2. THE DAWN PATROL, by Don Winslow (Knopf)
3. HELL'S BAY, by James W. Hall (St. Martin's Minotaur)
And here are my favorite paperback originals of the year...
1. FIFTY-TO-ONE, by Charles Ardai (Hard Case Crime)
2. MONEY SHOT, by Christa Faust (Hard Case Crime)
3. THE COLD SPOT, by Tom Piccirilli (Bantam)
4. SMALL CRIMES, by Dave Zeltserman (Serpent's Tail)
5. BLOOD BROTHER, by Jack Kerley (U.K. import)
6. THE FIRST QUARRY, by Max Allan Collins (Hard Case Crime)
(And I'm reading Charlie Stella's SHAKEDOWN and Declan Burke's EIGHTBALL BOOGIE right now, and they're both pretty damn good!)
Have a great holiday season, everyone! :-)
