And with that I'm cutting back my MR'ing for a few days while I edit the 1st Elliot Finch novel into shape. I actually have four Finch novels where I thought it was 3. I later on wrote a short story with the same title as the 1st Finch novel, a title Tom Waits fans will appreciate.
So the Finch novels are now:
1: 1947 Beneath a Bloodshot Moon (this one takes place directly after Dead Pigeons and follows Finch as he goes out to meet the money man behind his cafe)
2: 1947 Murder at the Mermaid Cafe
3: 1948 The Big Hurt
4: 1949 An Angel at Dawn
They're only 50 - 55,000 words each (about the same length as Robert B Parker's Spenser novels), so they're quick novels.
