The other was Trouble Chaser. <br /><br />Cain seemed to favor the independent hero who was neither cop or private eye, such as Druse, as you mentioned, and St. Nick Green, who appeared in another Seven Slayers story. It would have been nice to see more of both. I also like "Murder in Blue" and the Johnny Doolin character. He can, obviously, mess with gangsters, and as an out-of-work stunt man I'm sure there would have been plenty of scenarios for him had Cain put his mind to it.<br /><br />But, alas... I am looking forward to Friday! And I still need to read The Tasting Machine.Brian Drakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01233187184688491057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4705940625481143611.post-49526645031387383012011-05-26T10:16:06.777-07:002011-05-26T10:16:06.777-07:00Busted.
