Raymond, it said, was a crime writer and the “founder of British noir.” Could that be true? What about Gerald Kersh (NIGHT AND THE CITY)?

I did not recognize S. J. Rozan's Trail of Blood, but it is just an alternate title to Shanghai Moon. That was the least favorite of her books that I read, but I really really like that series.

I'm sure I read the other one 20-odd years ago. It's one of his shorter books!col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-12148201320380605272015-08-24T01:06:34.697-07:002015-08-24T01:06:34.697-07:00Col, I have never read Martin Amis who, if I'm...Col, I have never read Martin Amis who, if I'm not mistaken, was quite a sensation when he burst on the literary scene.
