Re Bill Crider's comments on Ted Wood below:
"But if you don't, does anyone read Ted Wood? I really used
to enjoy his
books, though I believe he's quit writing now. He did a
couple under the
name Jack Banaro about a bodyguard named John Locke, and I'm
currently
reading HammerLocke. Locke is a professional bodyguard, and
this is an
entertaining hardboiled story."
Ted Wood was a Toronto police officer many years ago, so his
books about
small-town police chief Reid Bennett have an authentic tone.
I think
they're probably the best of rural-set procedurals.
In an interesting coincidence, some years ago one of Bill's
Sheriff Dan
Rhodes books and one of Wood's Bennet books, both coming out
within months
of each other, had both small-town lawmen contending with
biker gangs that
had invaded their jurisdictions. The exact titles escape me
at the moment.
