This being Friday, one would expect to find “forgotten crime novels” being heralded across the Web. And one wouldn’t be disappointed. Among the works under consideration: Isle of Joy, by Don Winslow; Thieves Fall Out, by Cameron Kay; Lady Killer, by Ed McBain; Venom House, by Arthur W. Upfield; Sherlock Holmes’s War of the Worlds, by Manly W. Wellman and Wade Wellman; Bimbos of the Death Sun, by Sharyn McCrumb; Tiebreaker, by Jack M. Bickham; The Plot Against Roger Rider, by Julian Symons; and (has this one really been forgotten?) Our Man in Havana, by Graham Greene.
In addition, the organizer of this ongoing project, Patti Abbott, has several writers choosing lost books--including Jonathan Latimer’s Red Gardenias and J.J. Bell’s Till the Clock Stops--in her own blog. Go there, as well, to find a complete list of today’s participants.
