These three novels show the range of Hano's capabilities, and all of them are well written, suspenseful, and intrinsically entertaining page turners. Hano is probably most famous as Jim Thompson's editor at Lion Books in the early 1950s, but he also wrote sports bios, novelizations, and great crime novels and westerns. Too bad most of them are out of print.
Hano is now 90 and still active. According to bio on this book he currently is writing a column for an environmental organization. When I interview him next month I'll find out which one and post said info here.
