Looks like there a couple of films I should check out. <BR/><BR/>Chris - why not try to pick up an original "Wade Miller" or "Whit Masterson" on ebay? They are usually pretty reasonably priced. Abebooks.com is good as well.P.M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16431406356898405676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1537120063567683385.post-84166598817561398972008-07-29T00:47:00.000-04:002008-07-29T00:47:00.000-04:00I read Devil May Care and was so blown away that I...I read Devil May Care and was so blown away that I tracked down all but a handful of the Wade Miller team's work under their many names.<BR/>The Max Thursday books are great, and so are the other more realistic noir novels, but I have a soft spot for their slightly pulpier and more melodramatic thrillers like Devil May Care, Branded Woman and The Tiger's Wife. These books swing effortlessly from terse, hardbitten prose to lush purple passages, from snappy patter to fiercely dramatic dialogue, and they do it in tight plots that always provide a few surprises.<BR/>Cruelly under-rated stuff for sure.<BR/><BR/>John HockingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1537120063567683385.post-57580513546217649962008-07-28T23:04:00.000-04:002008-07-28T23:04:00.000-04:00Looked on Amazon, no luck.
