Thanks to Goodwill pricing and cool Black Lizard cover art, I picked up the nicely evil Rendezvous in Black, written by the unjustly forgotten Cornell Woolrich. It is mostly straitforward 50s pulp, but the plot is particularly nasty. It is a basic revenge tale in which a man seeks vengeance against those that accidently killed his girlfriend, but he doesn't kill those responsible. Instead on the anniversary of his best girl's death, he hunts down someone close to the perps.
Of particular interest to me is the fact that the killer's name is Johnny Marr and one of the victims is named Morrissey. Everyone's fave 80s Brit guitarist changed his name to Marr, and I think it is so Moz that he is in the victim role.
