The Rap Sheet: Wolf on the Prowl

Part II of “Black Lens,” the Ken Bruen and Russell Ackerman story being serialized in the Mulholland Books blog, was posted this morning.

QUOTABLE CRIME

“I make no conscious effort to be tough, or hard-boiled, or grim, or any of the things I am usually called. I merely try to write as the character would write, and I never forget that the average man, from the fields, the streets, the bars, the offices, and even the gutters of his country, has acquired a vividness of speech that goes beyond anything I could invent, and that if I stick to this heritage, this logos of the American countryside, I shall attain a maximum of effectiveness with very little effort.”
— James M. Cain, from the preface to Double Indemnity
