B...]<br />Joe was a fine writer and a great, great guy.<br /><br />Barb and I got to know him and his wife when we were all guests at one of Don and Abby Westlake's Mohonk mystery-game weekends. What fun.<br /><br />He was a writer of the MIKE HAMMER show (Stacy Keach version) and did some of the best scripts for that series.<br /><br />One of the very best of his generation, and one of the few real PIs to write private eye fiction.Max Allan Collinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00867456003618637948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668066.post-16445129987563162052011-01-12T15:13:40.748-06:002011-01-12T15:13:40.748-06:00Sad.

A VERY nice man who took the time to chat with me about characterization and plot of books now, as compared to the heydey of Chandler and Hammett.

...OH MY! He was a very good writer and a great guy!<br /><br />I am so, so sorry to read this! I wondered a little when I didn't get a Christmas card this year. He wrote me into a book as the villain and told me I'd be appearing again in the next DKA, a series I absolutely love.
