Retread Reads

Although The Rap Sheet took a much-appreciated break yesterday from contributing to Patti Abbott’s “forgotten books” series, other bloggers continued to pitch in reading ideas. Some of the crime-oriented fiction recommended this week: Cry at Dusk, by Lester Dent; Homicide Johnny, by Steve Fisher; The Last of Philip Banter, by John Franklin Bardin; Tropic of Night, by Michael Gruber; Lemons Never Lie, by Richard Stark; Black as He’s Painted, by Ngaio Marsh; and Midnight Specials, edited by Bill Pronzini.

Abbott offered a complete rundown of this week’s participating writers in her own blog.
