Washington wizard.('Hell to Pay')
Someone, maybe me, should publish a Hollywood-homes-of-the-stars-type map of America's premier crime novelists, complete with oval-shaped portraits of the authors displayed above the areas they chronicle. James Ellroy and Walter Mosley would preside over Los Angeles. Jon A. Jackson would occupy Detroit. Miami would be crowded, with James W. Hall, Carl Hiaasen, Edna Buchanan, and perhaps even a small black-and-white of Charles Willeford, for old times' sake. And somewhere over Washington, D.C., there would be a large picture of George P. Pelecanos.
