Hi Kit,Any admirer of Graham Greene's better stuff (Brightpn Rock, The Third Man, etc), and William Faulkner is fine by me. F. Scott Fitzgerald and Evelyn Waugh are more my better half's taste but no matter - I recently helped my daughter with a University paper on the relationship of Greene and Waugh at Baliol.
If you're familiar with the literary feud between Greene and George Orwell (now there's a literary hero!) you might be interested in my novel, THE LAST MAN OUT OF EUROPE. This reinterprets Orwell's 1984 as a noir thriller set in London and Vietnam, also owes something to THE GUIET AMERICAN and casts Greene as a villain in an alternative history. It's available on http://www.lulu.com/content/2557400 and the ISBN is ISBN 978-1-4092-0457-2.
Hopefully my sojourn into slef publsihing is coming to an end as I have a pucker publisher putting out ENEMY WITHIN in April. It's a retrospective crime thriller set during the 1094 miners strike. If you like James Ellroy, Jake Arnott and David Peace it may be up your street.
