Comments: This is an eclectic list to say the least, but in reading Mary Picken’s comments about the books made me want to read some of these books. I have read MAY GOD FORGIVE by Alan Parks and it is on my list of best of 2022. I still want to read THE LOST MAN OF BOMBAY because I enjoy Vaseem Khan’s work so much. I’ve been wanting to read Doug Johnstone for quite some time. 2023 may be the year I try him out. Thanks to the Rap Sheet for pointing out this list to me.
