Well I get my recommendations from various sources. This person writes crime novels in the noir style. His most famous work seems to be A Coffin for Dimitrios . Has anyone read his books, and if so how do they compare with the other crime writers who occasionally dabble in that style (eg Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett, James M. Cain, Patricia Highsmith)?

I read one years ago which was quite good, but I can't remember what it was called. I tried another and couldn't really get into it.

Not much use unfortunately..

Nothing on Raymond Chandler, and nothing like him. I don't think anyone comes close to him.
