In case you haven't heard yet but rather sadly we have lost one of America's influential writers. James Crumley died on Wednesday afternoon at the age of 68. More information can be found here:-
This is a shame and a sad day for us all. My favourite of all his novels is of course The Last Good Kiss. He was an amazing writer and it is a shame that we will no longer have his presence in the crime fiction fraternity. He will be sorely missed I am sure but many of us.
