It includes three works prior to Race W. Unfortunately not Three Gun Terry. But has The False Burton Combs in it. The book is edited and designed by Matthew Moring and is from 2015. Additionally it has a long thorough introduction by Brooksa E. Hefner. <br />I look forward to Volume 2Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15065796234978702649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574898998296059114.post-74697114455528745912011-04-25T17:51:27.517-04:002011-04-25T17:51:27.517-04:00I always get a laugh when I read comments about so...I always get a laugh when I read comments about some author's stilted or unnatural dialogue. Listen to real people talking on the street, on the tv show Cops,or on the tapes the cops make of real criminals. Would you really pay money to read THAT for several hundred pages? For my money, Daly's Race Williams or Hammett's Continental Op stories are better than reality. Reality is usually too banal to be entertaining.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574898998296059114.post-18328009260743510672009-10-16T03:10:29.756-04:002009-10-16T03:10:29.756-04:00I first heard of Carroll John Daly on Wikepedia wh...I first heard of Carroll John Daly on Wikepedia when I was reading up on Hammett and it listed Daly as creating the hard boiled detective before Hammett and it got me wanting to read Daly for that fact alone and the first story by Daly I read was the False Burton Combs and I loved it though the second part involving the court scene not up to the standard set by the first part but I reread part of it and it works now. I am hoping to read It's All In The Game that features a private detective before Three Gun Terry but in that story he is just a Private Detective in name only, as a cover for his vigilante justice but I want to read it. However, I can not find it anywhere so far. The only known publication of it that I know of is in Black Mask April 15, 1923. Does anyone know to get a hold of these early magazines? I heard that Satan Hall, a character created by Carroll John Daly who was introduced in Satan's Lash is the first dirty harry style cop but the only known publication I know of of that story is Street and Smith's Detective Story Magazine. I ordered Snarl of the Beast and looking forward to reading it and I ordered The Adventures of Satan Hall and it has the second story to feature that character and looking forward to that as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574898998296059114.post-8722129017437637462009-09-25T03:02:49.200-04:002009-09-25T03:02:49.200-04:00i think he is very good

But his stories have an energy that I like, and I'd rather read something written in a distinctive voice, even if it's flawed, than something smoother that could have been written by anybody.James Reasonerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049917964433932612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574898998296059114.post-22758362543818722552009-04-10T01:16:00.000-04:002009-04-10T01:16:00.000-04:00This was a history lesson for me.
