Twenty Two Classic Crime Books by Charles Williams
Requirements: ePUB Reader, 6.2mb
Overview: Charles Williams (August 13, 1909 – ca. April 7, 1975) was an American writer of hardboiled crime fiction. He is regarded by critics as one of the finest suspense novelists of the 1950s and 1960s. His 1951 debut, the pulp paperback novel Hill Girl, sold over a million copies. A dozen of his books have been adapted for the screen, most popularly Dead Calm.

Of Williams’s twenty-two novels, sixteen were paperback originals—eleven of them Gold Medals; he is described by Gorman as “the best of all the Gold Medal writers.”Pulp historian Woody Haut calls Williams the “foremost practitioner” of the style of suspense that typified American pulp literature from the mid-1950s through the early 1960s: “So prolific and accomplished a writer was Charles Williams that he single-handedly made many subsequent pulp culture novels seem like little more than parodies.”Fellow hardboiled author John D. MacDonald cites him as one of the most undeservedly neglected writers of his generation. O’Brien, singling him out as especially “overdue” for “wider appreciation,” describes Williams as a stylist consistently faithful to “the narrative values which make his books so entertaining and his present neglect so inexplicable.”
