Willeford

Mystery writer Charles Willeford (Miami Blues, New Hope for the Dead, Sideswipe, and The Way We Die Now) died in relative obscurity at the age of 69 in 1988. Now this colorful, careful biography from writer/editor Don Herron helps us find out a lot more about one of the most important and interesting crime writers of our time. An exhaustive bibliography documents Willeford's surprisingly large output, while newly discovered letters show how his life in the U.S. Cavalry shaped much of his work.
