Here's the beauty of owning a Kindle ... I can download a preview (usually the first chapter or so) for free to see if I like it before I buy it. So, on your recommendation I just got a preview of "Flood". I'll let you know what I think of it ...

>>I have a bone to pick with all the so called readers here. How come with all the authors' names bandied about, nobody told me about Andrew Vachss (pronounced Vax)? I just started "Mask Market", and it's terrific! This guy can write!

>You should have asked me. I've followed Burke and Max the Silent and Pansy and Mama from the beginning. Start at the beginning. Mask Market is very late in the game. Start back with Flood, Strega, Blue Belle, Hard Candy and Blossom.

>"Burke would eat Spade and Marlowe for breakfast, not even spitting out the bones. [He] is one tough, mean, pray-God-you-don't-meet-him hombre."
>—Boston Herald

>"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing" - Burke.

>( Two Trains Running not in Burke series but terrific. )

>And make sure you don't miss my recommendation for Denise Mina.

>And then there is Ken Bruen. ( and I think we've already shared appreciation of Bill James)
