Back from the Grave

The latest blogosphere-wide supply of posts about “forgotten books” worth reading seems a bit sparer than usual. But there are certainly some gems that crime-fiction fans will enjoy digging up. Among those: Hare Sitting Up, by Michael Innes; Charlie Opera, by Charlie Stella; The Given Day, by Robert van Gulik; Crossroad Blues, by Ace Atkins; The 31st of February, by Julian Symons; Falling Angel, by William Hjortsberg; The Dark Side of the Island, by Mark Hebden; The Hidden Stone, by Fran Striker; and Death Rides the Pecos, by Davis Dresser (aka Brett Halliday).

Patti Abbott has a full list of today’s recommendations in her own blog, plus three more “forgotten” finds, one of them being Jon L. Breen’s collection of criticism, A Shot Rang Out.
