Remember, people hassle you in all sorts of different ways. Don't assume they're right and you're wrong just because they know something you don't. The question is: Do you need to know it to do a better job? Then learn it. If not, it's a distraction and to hell with it.

novels Cry Hard, Cry Fast (1955), Murdering the Wind (1956), Slam the Big Door (1960), A Flash of Green (1962), and the astonishingly good The End of the Night (1960) were among his finest work. There were also an imposing number of other paperback originals that were also first-rate crime stories--among them Dead, Low Tide (1953) and One Monday We Killed Them All (1961)
