Is it just me, or does today’s collection of “forgotten books” posts seem particularly diverse and intriguing? In addition to Karen E. Olson’s recommendation on this page of Alley Kat Blues, by Karen Kijewski, the Web offers up the following crime-fiction-related works: Not Too Narrow ... Not Too Deep, by Richard Sale; The Real Cool Killers, by Chester Himes; To Kiss, or Kill, by Day Keene; The Gambler, by William Krasner; The Case of the Vanishing Beauty, by Richard S. Prather; Primary Target, by Max Allan Collins; Forfeit, by Dick Francis; Double Blackmail, by G.D.H. and Margaret Cole; Pay the Devil, by Jack Higgins; The Grifters, by Jim Thompson; Rumpole for the Defense, by John Mortimer; Dashiell Hammett’s not-so-forgotten The Maltese Falcon; and a non-fiction entry, The Black Mask Boys, edited by William F. Nolan.
Series organizer Patti Abbott features, in her own blog, a full rundown of all today’s participating writers, plus Ed Gorman’s fine recommendation of The Beats, by Seymour Krim.
