Library Journal Review

These volumes introduce the Hard Case Crime line, which replicates the inexpensive, pocket edition (each measures 4" x 6.5") of hard-boiled pulps sporting lurid covers of tough guys and hot dames. The authors run the gamut from vintage gods like Gardner to the early work of current top mystery men Block, Collins, and Westlake. Absolute gangbusters! (c) Copyright 2010.
