📮 Harry Stoner Series by Jonathan Valin (.ePUB)

In his mid-forties, too educted for his own good and no stranger to brooding and self-doubt, Cincinnati’s HARRY STONER is a more intense, more muscular, bigger-shouldered version of Ross Macdonald‘s Lew Archer, rougher around the edges, more prone to violence. And he’s very much a product of his times — the 1980’s and 90’s, and was, in fact, one of the great series of that era. Harry’s world is an even more confusing and overwhelming place than Macdonald’s world-weary gumshoe probably ever dreamed of, where evil is more than ever a palpable thing. But unlike Saint Archer, Stoner isn’t above temptations of the flesh, although his choice of bedmates is at times less than ideal. Harry runs a one-man agency out of the Riorley Building and his trusty steed is a rusting, beat-up Pinto that, like Harry, has seen better days. I mean, how eighties can you get? A Pinto? But it is the sense of almost palpable horror that marks the Stoner books as something more than just reheated, pumped-up Macdonald. The books are powerful stuff, indeed, full of nasty, shocking images that can dig in and stay with you for a long, long time. Evil is a recurring character in this series, and the consequences of violence aren’t blithely passed over. Not surprisingly, perhaps, in the later books, Stoner begins to question his attraction to, and repulsion of violence. He’s also trying to come to grips with his lost idealism, and like his contemporary to whom he’s often compared to (see below), Stephen Greenleaf’s John Marshall Tanner, he’s starting to wonder whatever happened to the sixties. All in all, an excellent series, a stand-out in an era that had more than its fair share of great series, and well worth checking out. The Thrilling Detective
