Sunny Frazier posted a discussionJUST DISCOVERED MAX ALLAN COLLINS
I received his novel, "Target Lancer" in my book bag at LCC Monterey. I've never heard of this author, Max Allan Collins, totally off my radar. The book is fact-based about an attempt on JFK's life in Chicago, weeks before Dallas. Jack Ruby, Oswald and Jimmy Hoffa are all characters. Collins writes noir and reads like Chandler. He also wrote "Road To Perdition." I'm going to look for the one about Marilyn Monroe.Any comments? Anyone a fan? See More

Some of those references are clear spoilers for the prior books. Deep in southwest Texas in the Big Bend region lays the small town of Artemis,…See More
A Breach of Etiqette
She awoke with intense pain, in her head, her back. Dense smoke filled the air and flames leapt along the wall across from where she lay. Ghostly figures moved around her. Were they shouting? She only heard whispers above the ringing in her ears. Warm blood ran down her face. It was hard to breath. The stench of melted plastic was intolerable.The last thing she remembered was sitting across from that dreadful young executive. She could not comprehend that despite her seventy years of life and…See More
