| Review | Hard, Hard City by Jim Fusilli (1465 words) |
 | Fusilli didn't invent "Manhattan Noir," but he has certainly appropriated it for his own uses and, in the process, raised that subgenre to art. |
 | As usual, Fusilli's protagonist in his fourth novel, Hard, Hard City, is the cynically inclined Terry Orr, a man so bedeviled by his past that he's compelled to dwell there in his dreams. |
 | Hardly appropriate when all he's trying to do is find their absent offspring, but an indication of how Fusilli has been influenced by Ross Macdonald and Robert B. Parker, both of whose novels often feature children seriously neglected by wealthy but narcissistic parents. |
