___________________________________________
Another hard-hitting, gritty
detective story. This one won the
Edgar Award for Best Mystery Novel.
Here's what one critic wrote:
"Room To Swing remains high on my list of hardboiled mystery novels. There was a lyricism, almost a poetry, to the writing that touched not only the powerful, melancholy storyline but also the elegant and evocative place descriptions. I've always regarded this as a true masterpiece. Certainly, its take on race makes it a milestone, too. But the sociology of it too often overshadows the sad truth of the tale itself. I liked several other Lacy novels very much, too, but Room is the one that got him to heaven.”
High praise, indeed.
I hope you enjoy it.

P.S.: I have one more
Ed Lacy novel to do, and that will be it, until some more of his writings are available.
