Twin Killing

William R. Burkett, Jr. is better known as a science fiction writer, but this foray into the mean streets of the world of Dashiell Hammett and Ross MacDonald and Raymond Chandler is formidable - tough, engaging, and as jarring as a nail scraped across a blackboard. Twin Killing was the initial book in his Rainy City Mystery series. And like his hard-as-nails sleuth, Burkett lives in the Pacific Northwest.
