Things you notice re-reading @LawrenceBlock's '90s Matt Scudder novels for the first time in 30 years: A random murder mentioned in passing on page 107 of 1991's A DANCE AT THE SLAUGHTERHOUSE becomes a key plot element in the next book, A WALK AMONG THE TOMBSTONES, a year later. https://t.co/oHxB7beeJG

An amazing bit of ephemera: A letter from @CornellWoolrich to his Hollywood agent, the legendary H.N. "Swanie" Swanson, re: his novel THE BRIDE WORE BLACK, dated 6/5/40. It took 28 years for a film of it to be made, but CW had dozens of other adaptations in the interim. https://t.co/j3zldDYotm

Elmore Leonard

Doing a major @ElmoreLeonard re-read, and always amused by his references to other movies and books. This from 1996's OUT OF SIGHT, a conversation between Karen Sisco and her father while they're watching TV, and a classic moment from 3 DAYS OF THE CONDOR. https://t.co/B6AO7La1on

Joe Gores
Wallace StrobyWallace Stroby

Tracked down a copy of Joe Gores' 1972 novel DEAD SKIP, mainly for this bit of Richard Stark/Donald E. Westlake cross-over. The same scene – albeit from Parker's perspective – appears in Stark's PLUNDER SQUAD, published the same year by the same publisher (Random House). https://t.co/7u6TQRQKCv
