I took a lot of pride that those fans would advise each other, "When you run out of Parker novels, get the Nolans." Don used to say I was the Jayne Mansfield to his Marilyn Monroe, and I would correct him and say, "More like Mamie Van Doren." He liked that gag. He sometimes called the Nolans the methadone to his heroin.<br /><br />Dan, if you've never read SPREE, you might enjoy it. The first five Quarrys were just reprinted by Perfect Crime (available at Amazon) and if those do well, the Nolans may follow.Max Allan Collinshttp://www.maxallancollins.comnoreply@blogger.com
