Hey, Kevin,
You may not remember me but we were on a panel together at Bouchercon a while back. I really miss your columns in he now defunct Mystery Scene. Anyway, you forgot to mention my Chicago based PI, Ron Shade. He appeared in A Killing Frost, Windy City Knights, A Final Judgment, and Dead Ringer (written with Julie Hyzy). All of my Shade books are still available as ebooks from Crossroads Press.
Stay strong,
Michael A. Black
Duly noted.
