The most recent addition to the complete review is my review of F.G. Haghenbeck's cocktail-noir, Bitter Drink.
This is yet another translation from AmazonCrossing, and with its real-life setting -- on the film-set of John Huston's The Night of the Iguana, which starred Richard Burton, Ava Gardner, Deborah Kerr, and Sue Lyon (with Elizabeth Taylor tagging along for good measure) --, a decent alcohol-related gimmick (the next in the series, still untranslated, is titled El caso tequila ...), and lots of leaning on Raymond Chandler should have pretty decent cross-border appeal; it seems to have done reasonably well in a couple of other languages already.
