4.0 out of 5 stars An eye for revenge, 2 Sep 2007
By Mikko Saari (Tampere, Finland) - See all my reviews
361, published originally back in 1962 and in 2005 by Hard Case Crime, is a classic hardboiled detective story. Things go bad for the protagonist - his father is killed, while he ends up with a gimp foot and a blind eye - and then, it gets worse.

Like in any hardboiled novel worth the label, 361 has plenty of action, both gunfights and fistfights. The hero empties a bottle of booze about every two pages. This is definitely not high literature, but 361 is a gripping book I'm sure many people will read in one sitting. It has great entertainment value, simply put.

4.0 out of 5 stars A fast read by a master of the genre, 26 Mar 2009
By R. Nicholson-morton "Nik Morton" (Alicante, Spain) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Maybe this novel is forty-seven years old, but it still grips as we live through Ray Kelly's traumatic return home after serving in Germany in the 1960s. The nightmare started when his car was shot at and his father died in his arms. Ray also lost an eye. Not surprisingly, Ray wants to find out why it happened. His brother Bill isn't so sure but goes along with him, especially after his wife dies in a car smash. So the two brothers embark on a journey of discovery that harks back to their father's secret days in the Mob in New York. The painful past is unearthed, a clod at a time. There are more deaths and more revelations to further test Ray's resolve. Finally, when he puts everything together, his conscience leaves him with only one way out.

Complete with a private eye who finds he's getting in too deep, a reporter who dug up dirt and thinks he's retired, to a bunch of ex convicts who yearn to bring back the old days, this is quite a roller coaster of an action-packed ride. Spare prose, no spare flab. Sure, I guessed one of the twists, but that didn't make the whole thing less poignant.

A fast read by a master of the genre.
