Go On Without Us ...

Unfortunately, The Rap Sheet is unable to participate in this week’s “forgotten books” celebration. But there are plenty of interesting suggestions being made elsewhere. Among the picks for this day: Suitable for Framing, by James Atlee Phillips; Bat Out of Hell, by Francis Durbridge; Cop Hater, by Ed McBain; Blayde R.I.P., by John Wainwright; and a book that I remember enjoying when it first came out, The Man with Bogart’s Face, by Andrew Fenady. In addition, forgotten books organizer Patti Abbott has some contributions posted in her own blog, including Robak in Black, by Joe L. Hensley, and Fantômas, by Pierre Souvestre and Marcel Allain.
