In addition to Stephen Miller’s write-up on this page about Modus Operandi, by Robin W. Winks, there are a number of other works of crime fiction and crime non-fiction being celebrated around the Web today as part of the Friday “forgotten books” series. Among the picks: One Man’s Muddle, by E. Baker Quinn; The Lucky Policeman, by Rupert Penny; Dead Men’s Letters and Other Short Novels, by Erle Stanley Gardner; The Vanished, by Bill Pronzini; Rendezvous at Kamakura Inn, by Marshall Brown; Walk the Dark Streets, by William Krasner; Goodnight Moom, by Jack MacLane; The Hand in the Glove, by Rex Stout, one of the earliest female private-eye novels; and Difficult Lives: Jim Thompson, David Goodis, Chester Himes, by James Sallis.
On top of all those, Patti Abbott hosts several remembrances of works past in her own blog, plus a list of all of today’s participants.
