savinhill posted:Has anyone read Ace Atkins' Devil's Garden? It sounds really interesting, it has Dashiell Hammett as a POV character while he's working the Fatty Arbuckle case as a Pinkerton. I've read some of Atkins' Quinn Colson Mississippi Sheriff books and he's pretty good at writing in the crime/detective genre, I just never remember to get his other standalone books. I haven't read that one but I enjoyed Wicked City (which is about Phenix City) and that was entertaining. By the way you can't talk about hard boiled PIs without talking about John D. Macdonald's Travis Mcgee series set in Florida. All of them are good but of the ones I've read so far Bright Orange for the Shroud and The Long Lavender Look are my personal favorites.

So what are your guys' thoughts on Mickey Spillane?

Anybody here familiar with Donald Hamilton's Matt Helm books? (Not the movies) I know they're spy fiction but the style is closer to John MacDonald than John Le Carre.
