So...here goes!<br /><br />Ever heard of <a style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);" href="http://www.amazon.com/Sallys-Alley-Carstairs-Mystery-Vintage/dp/0915230461/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1209488347&sr=8-2">Sally's in the Alley</a> by Norbert Davis? Unless you're a massive fan of deep pulp/hard-boiled crime fiction, probably not. And that's too bad, 'cause ol' Norbert is one of the few writers who managed to pull off humor <span style="font-style: italic;">and</span> hard-boiled. When I say humor, I'm not talking black humor (which I also dig). Nope, I'm talking breezy, laugh-out-loud, almost screwball humor.<br /><br />The story centers around Doan, a P.I. ne'er-do-well, and Carstairs, a Great Dane the size of a Shetland pony. Carstairs is both the brains and the brawn of the duo. I suspect that Doan exists mainly to keep our canine hero in steaks and tea biscuits. Set in WWII, the adventure starts off in Hollywood and follows the detecting duo as they travel to the tiny town of Heliotrope in the Mojave Desert. Why, you ask? (Okay, you didn't, but pretend you did anyway). Because the gov'ment wants Doan to pretend to be a Japanese spy in search of a mineral mine. Huh? Yep, that's right. See, there's a guy who knows where the mine is, but he flippin' hates the government & so fake spyness ensues. The plot gets more twisty and complicated from there, & the bodies pile up at an alarming rate, but it is absolutely always fun. So, y'know, check it out! The fab folks over at <a href="http://www.ruemorguepress.com/authors/davis.html">Rue Morgue Press</a> were awesome enough to reissue the book a few years back, so the current paperback version is both available and affordable. <br /><br />To keep the Forgotten Books Friday ball rollin', I'm officially tagging <a style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);" href="http://danielhatadi.blogspot.com/">Daniel Hatadi</a> for next week's continuing adventures. And don't let him pull his 'I'm a rebel, I ain't gonna tag nobody' routine.
