Anyone else reading the Hard Case Crime series?  They do both reprints of classic noir novels and new, original books too.

I've read most of these and , just finished Money Shot by Christa Faust, a terrific, fast paced, rough book.

Anyone interested in crime fiction needs to grab some of these if you haven't so far.

Anyone who thought Sin City was good needs to get these books, they show you what crime fiction really is.

Well i've been reading Dashiell Hammet books for some years. They were quite a good read, and had that noir feel inside.

I'll look around for the book you mention.

Cheers

If you like Hammet, you'll like these - you might recognize some of the older authors, but the newer writers are pretty good.

They're reprinting Westlake, Max Allan Collins among others, as well as the books Michael Crichton wrote as John Lange.
