James R. Benn’s endorsement on this page of No Orchids for Miss Blandish, by James Hadley Chase, is hardly the only “forgotten book” being championed today in the crime-fiction blogosphere. Elsewhere, you can read about A Winter Spy, by MacDonald Floyd; Behind the Screen, by The Detection Club; The Phantom Spy, by Max Brand; Drury Lane’s Last Case, by Barnaby Ross (aka Ellery Queen); The Burglar Who Painted Like Mondrian, by Lawrence Block; the Cliff Hardy P.I. series, by Peter Corris; and Gotham by Gaslight, a Batman comic by Brian Augustyn and Mike Mignola.
In addition, Patti Abbott hosts several write-ups in her own blog, including Ed Gorman’s ode to Rogue Cop, by William P. McGivern. Also refer to Abbott’s blog for a full rundown of the sites participating today in the “forgotten books” project.
