Just a short word about this new collection of short stories from David Cranmer, assisted ably this time by Scott D. Parker. There's also a good introduction by Ron Scheer on the development of hardboiled fiction.Thirteen tales from a wealth of writers, again some I knew, some I was unfamiliar with. Patrica Abbott, Amy Grech, Wayne D. Dundee, Kieran Shea, Thomas Pluck, and David himself, well known already for his Cash Laramie character, are the known writers. but the others, Garnett Elliott, Kent Gowran, John Horner Jacobs, Glen Gray, Brad Green, Ron Earl Philips, Benoit Lelievre, are those new to me.Tough, violent, uncompromising, they all live up to the hardboiled in the title.Worth a look and one can't beat the price.
