As has been reported elsewhere, San Francisco crime novelist Joe Gores--creator of the Dan Kearney and Associates (DKA files) series, and the author of Spade & Archer, his prequel to Dashiell Hammett’s The Maltese Falcon--has passed away at age 79.
More details to follow.
Odd that he would die so close to the 50th anniversary of Hammett's passing. Karma.
