One pernickety nitpick - Wilcox didn't create McCloud, just wrote three novelisations from the show. It was always credited to Herman Milner because the show was based on the Clint Eastwood film COOGAN'S BLUFF, for which he wrote the original script (which did get re-written a bit by others)Sergio (Tipping My Fedora)http://bloodymurder.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-85223773637051535782014-09-27T17:01:13.859+01:002014-09-27T17:01:13.859+01:00I know, he turns up a lot doesn't he?

All the Pronzini books are waiting for me. Sometime. And there wasn't much in the way of clothes descriptions, but I still found it a very visual book, I could imagine all the settings.

He is now the big Pronzini fan and has all of the Nameless series, including this book and a book where Pronzini collaborated with his wife.<br /><br />But to get back to the point here. Which is this book. Since I have read Pronzini's books into the 1990's I could definitely go back and read this one. Haven't tried Wilcox at all and would like to. And I am very surprised that there are clothing descriptions, but then it has been a long time since I read Pronzini.

By the way, I did get some of the Maupin books years ago and couldn't get into the first, so got rid...did I miss much?<br />I've read some other collaborative efforts - Ken Bruen and Jason Starr had a series of 3 that Hard Case Crime put out I think, titles escape me but they were fun; though by the third I was a bit weary. Only other one I can recall reading was something by Peter Straub and Stephen King - The Talisman, a totally different type of book to what I read these days. <br /><br />Thanks for linking as well.

And I agree; San Francisco is a great setting for a novel. And at that time, so much was happening there, too. That aspect of it sounds really interesting too. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
