.Yep. They are all great. A friend of mine who is a personal injury
and former legal aide lawyer in Minneapolis turned me onto them claiming
their absolute veracity when it comes to depicting low-lifes, riff-raff
and schemers. Check out The Switch, or the Big Switch. It's the one
that precedes the one the movie Jackie Brown was based on. I guarantee
you, you will have a shit-eating grin on your face at the end. The guy
is the best American writer since Raymond Chandler, or maybe Jim
Thompson.
