During the pandemic, Lizzie and I watched the entire Richard Denning 1960s Michael Shayne TV detective series on YouTube. I am now absolutely addicted to the books it was based on.

Jay Dratler’s The Pitfall, written 1947, is a nicely twisted noir tale. A cop persuades a writer to romance a girl, but the cop wants the girl himself. Characters driven by madness and sexual obsession and the hero has no idea what's going on.

Fletcher Flora’s 1958 novel Park Avenue Tramp takes a classic noir setup with emotional intrigues, betrayals and infidelities that he develops in unexpected ways with some twisted characters. Truly a neglected gem by an underrated writer.

Hey, Mastodon. I write novels and short stories and screenplays, and the occasional review/article. Book details on my author site (link in bio) and other stuff on my blog (link in bio). Working on something new. (Always working on something new.)
