I'm sheepish to admit I've never read a Carter Brown (maybe have only read Yates as Paul Valdez), but the McGinnis covers are so good.

His newest stuff has me thinking, "Honey needs a steak sandwich," but his classic girls are amazing.

The Killer Inside Me by Jim Thompson and The Black Mass of Brother Springer by Charles Willeford    $15 for the pair  SOLD to goldust40

Minty reader's of two of the craziest noir novels ever conceived by the warped minds of men

Not Golden Age, but crazy that these are listed as "vintage" by sellers now, having been published in the 1980's in the Black Lizard/Quill noir revival. I remember them new on the rack in bookstores

Unread with minimal edgewear

Enjoyed Willeford's Cockfighter

I'm going to take a break to do a few things. I should be back to finish up in about an hour

[Darwination]

Looked up Willeford's early first editions, wowsah, highly collectible o.O

Not too surprising
