The Return of Charles Willeford!

I love Hard Case Crime. I've read quite a few of their titles, and if I had the time to read them and the money to buy them I'd get every one of their titles. The covers alone are worth the price of admission. I've also contacted the editor, Charles Ardai, on a couple of occasions, and he has always been friendly and polite in response. (You know, like the opposite of Ed Brubaker.) Case in point . . .

See how friendly and nice and not Ed Brubakerly Mr. Ardai is?
