The latest edition of Mystery News recently came winging through my mail slot. Its cover story focuses on Dallas’ Harry Hunsicker, author of the new private-eye novel The Next Time You Die. Inside are profiles of Canadian Louise Penny (Still Life) and Australian Kerry Greenwood (Flying Too High), as well as a lively retrospective on Raoul F. Whitfield, “the forgotten man of hardboiled fiction.” And Marv Lachman promotes Dick Francis’ forthcoming novel, Under Orders, by reminding readers of that jockey-turned-author’s past success at penning horse-racing mysteries (he’s especially fond of 1965’s Odds Against).
Unfortunately, out of all the contents mentioned here, only part of Gary Warren Niebuhr’s story about Hunsicker is available online.
