I plugged Bill Pronzini into my library's search bar and got almost 200 hits so, yeah, prolific. He also writes Westerns.
There are a few Nameless Detective books on disk here so I want to give them a listen. A lot of Hurwitz, too.
No Graingers, though. Odd.
I thought I had read my fill of Prey books but if this is the best one, I guess I'd better check it out.
Do stop by again soon.
