Since I too seldom visit Crime Space I haven't seen your mail earlier. Nice though to hear from you. I am also a member of Police Pulse. So there is another thing we have in common. May I invite you to be my friend?

Regards from Carl

At 12:42am on March 31, 2011, Charles Clemens said…: Good morning, Nancy. I don't office visit Crimespace, but I was doodling around this morning and I noticed that you included Raymond Chandler as a favorite writer. He's one of mine, as well. I used to really enjoy the late Robert B. Parker's Spenser mysteries... but I think fame and fortune tamed Parker and his last couple books lacked the punch of HUGGER MUGGER, THIN AIR, A CATSKILL EAGLE, et al. Another author that I noticed was significantly absent from your list was Dashiell Hammett. Have you read THE THIN MAN, THE MALTESE FALCON, or RED HARVEST? I love those old books.

Oops gotta run. Thanks again for inviting me to Planet Earth Advocates. I notice that you have a passion for protecting wildlife. God bless you. Did you know that Buddhists operate a shelter for animals near Kanab, Utah? It's really something. These people are so loving and caring that, when their rabbit sanctuary became overrun with mice... so they made a new place for the rabbits and now have a spot for mice.

Om mani padme hum!

Thanks for calling me on into your police lineup. I can only testify to never a dull moment.

Try something that takes you out of the US for a bit: Alan Furst, Philip Kerr's early books, and if you really want to risk it, try Michael Genelin (that's me). And, yes, I'm also a member of Police Pulse (an ex-DA).

Best,

Michael Genelin
