So 13 French Street it is. <br />Loved The Blind Alley by the way. Am currently watching "A Woman on the Run" and falling slightly in love with Ann Sheridan. I must confess, I'm ignorant in many of the ways of film noir and your book has shown me multiple paths to follow. <br />You're the man, and I'm a lifelong fan, so just do your thing and I'll follow.

I need to check my Blogger settings, I think, because I didn't get a notification of your post.<br /><br />At any rate, thanks for the kind words. I'm glad you dug the Holding. It's really good stuff.<br /><br />As for Brewer, I think 13 French Street is your next best bet. That's the quintessential Brewer, I think.<br /><br />I don't know about Saint Homicide. We'll see...

Thanks for the info and advice! And also The Blind Alley, which will lead to more purchases, no doubt. <br />Now, a question: you're a Gil Brewer fan, now what should I read next? I've only read the Vengeful Virgin, Redheads Die Quickly, Wild to Possess/A Taste For Sin. Just shoot me any ol' idea...<br />Oh, and you're the man! A true noir soldier. <br /><br />ps You know if Saint Homicide will ever pop up in print here in the states? Ebooks are fine, but it would look good in my noir book collection. 4micahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04650142931955553767noreply@blogger.com
