  • Some possible books for the future

    I’ve been saving a clipping from the WSJ for a few weeks, mostly to keep some possible book ideas around. Better to put them here, where I can get at them from elsewhere (and throw away the clipping). All recommended by Jim Fusilli, formerly book reviewer of mysteries and crime fiction for the Boston Globe.

    • The Killing of the Tinkers, by Ken Bruen
    • Some Bitter Taste, by Magdalen Nabb
    • Flynn’s World, by Gregory McDonald
    • The Spinning Man, by George Harrar
    • The Nature of Midnight, by Robert Rice
    • The Hell Screen, by I.J. Parker
    • Southwesterly Wind, by Luis Alfredo Garcia-Roza

    I won’t get to these immediately, but good to have a list. If you’ve got any personal experience with any of these, let me know.
