		Amazon.com: Private Eye-Lashes: Books: Barbara J. Watkins,Jack French
		An essential amount of space must be made in one's library for the books written by John Dunning, Jim Cox, Martin Grams, Jr., etc...and no OTR fan should be without a copy of Jack French's Private Eye-Lashes: Radio's Lady Detectives.
		Jack French's startling new book, PRIVATE EYELASHES: Radio's Lady Detectives, provides fresh insight into a little researched, but important corner of old-time radio---lady sleuths with a penchant for adventure, discovery, and danger.

		Third Eye Blind debuted songs from their third album, Out of the Vein (due May 13th), at the Roxy in Los Angeles Thursday night as part of Rolling Stone's Private Concert Series.
		Third Eye Blind has waited nearly four years to put out another album, so the San Francisco band is taking a novel approach to herald the release of Out of the Vein, which hits stores this month.
		Third Eye Blind is on a tour, but this time it's not with another blockbuster pop-rock band.

	A PRIVATE LIBRARY ALL YOUR OWN
		One should have one's own bookshelves, which should not have doors, glass windows, or keys; they should be free and accessible to the hand as well as to the eye.
		The works of poets, dramatists, novelists, essayists, historians, should be selected with care, and should grow in number in one's private library from the dawn of youth to the day of death.
		Everyone should begin collecting a private library in youth; the instinct of private property, which is fundamental in human beings, can here be cultivated with every advantage and no evils.

	Books of Catherine Asaro
		Down These Dark Spaceways, edited by Mike Resnick, is an original science fiction mystery anthology from the Science Fiction Book Club, composed of six futuristic hard-boiled private eye stories.
		Skyfall is a stand-alone novel that predates the chronology of Catherine Asaro’s other books — and is an excellent book for new readers to start with.
		The Final Key (Triad, Book II) is the completion of the duology Triad, which began with the novel Schism (Triad, Book I).

		This reissue of The Eye of The Beholder isn't that; well, perhaps a little of the last.

	Interview Loren D. Estleman
		More than four decades later, Estleman still has a fond eye for mobsters and molls and other low-grade malefactors, only now he's calling the shots, writing such characters into private-eye tales that can be as engrossing as Eliot Ness' adventures, but boast a punchier line of patter.
		Something that's struck me about your recent Walker books is how you've resurrected characters we haven't seen much of (if at all) since Motor City Blue.
		In fiction, characters must be consistent; in fact, people are anything but.

	The Staff
		His writing credits include eleven issues of the sci-fi comic book Leonard Nimoy's Primortals, several comic books and short stories featuring his own creation, Nightmark (AKA Gideon King, a hardboiled PI in a gothic horror setting), and a series of short stories featuring Portland, Maine private eye Matthew Dain.
		His first private eye comic was actually a fanzine version of Detectives, Inc. way back in 1969 (the characters of Rainier and Denning were originally designed for him and Alex "Blackjack" Simmons to play on film).
		He's collected comic books for ten+ years, and still rememberis when comics were colored with zip-o-tone (do a search, he says, if you're not that old).

	Perry Mason
		In the first ten or so books, Perry comes off as a particularly hardboiled lawyer/detective, throwing his weight around, duking it out with suspects, breaking and entering, and other private eye shenanigans.
		And even if one argues that Mason isn't really a private eye, it's hard to ignore the fact that the novels do feature one of the most enduring fictional private detectives of all time, even if he is always playing second fiddle to his famous client.
		Mason's first appearances in comics were two comic book adaptations of Gardner novels in the late forties, in two issues of David McKay's Feature Books (issues 49 and 50, for those of you keeping scores).

	Jack Hagee
		Given the author's fondness for pulps and comic books, it should come as no surprise that former military intelligence op and NYPD cop turned low-rent, blue-collar private dick JACK HAGEE comes across as a 90's version of Spillane's Mike Hammer, about as hardboiled, bloodthirsty and reactionary as might be expected.
		(Blurb from Moonstone Comics, upon release of Jack Hagee, Private Eye)
		Under the pseudonym of Robert Morgan, Henderson also writes about supernatural private eye Teddy London.

	Authors and Creator: Robert J.Randisi
		He's referred to himself as "the world's biggest private eye nut," and certainly, more than anyone else since Hammett, Chandler and Macdonald, Robert Randisi has fought to ensure that P.I. fiction gets some respect.
		He has also written and created The Tracker series (7 books, as Tom Cutter); the Angel Eyes series (9 books, as W.B. Longely): The Bounty Hunter series (5 books, as Joshua Randall); the Mountain Jack Pike series (15 books, as Joseph Meek); and the Ryder series (4 books, as Cole Weston).
		He's a card-carrying member of The Western Writers of America and has written over 270 western novels under 11 different names, including six different western series, the longest running of which is The Gunsmith series (over 200 books, and counting), which he writes as J.R. Roberts.

	Robert B. Parker
		But Parker is a huge contributor to the private eye genre in his own right, having written 35 books, 27 of which feature Spenser, a Boston private eye.
		Since 1997, he has published two novels per year, and with the debut of his latest series (the Sunny Randall franchise), Parker expects to deliver three books per year.
		Parker himself is a long-time Boston resident, and the city is almost as much of a character in his novels as the protagonists.

		Tree is one of the most thought-provoking, and entertaining, private eyes around.
		Tree co-creator Terry Beatty shares a website with his wife, author Wendi Lee, creator of Old West P.I. Jefferson Birch and modern gal private eye Angela Matelli.
		Collins is probably most famous for his historical detective novels featuring fictional Chicago private eye Nate Heller or real-life untouchable Eliot Ness, or perhaps his continuation of the Dick Tracy comic strip after creator Chester Gould's death but, as excellent as that work may be, to tell the truth, I think the Ms.

	Mike Hammer
		Although Hammer received a 'life long achievement' award from the Private Eye Writers of America, no similar honour was forthcoming from the Mystery Writers of America.
		The books are littered with an almost casually extreme violence: a cigarette lighter flicked into an eye, clothes stripped of a woman who is a communist and who is then whipped.
		The Hammer books are not only extreme in their subject matter, but they also have a tendency to provoke an extreme reaction.
