PaperBack: “Some Die Hard”

Part of a series honoring the late author and blogger Bill Crider .



Some Die Hard , by “Nick Quarry,” aka Marvin H. Albert (Gold Medal, 1961). In October, I wrote about The Hoods Came Calling , the last of six entries in Albert’s series starring Jake Barrow , “a tough, no-nonsense private eye from New York City.” Some Die Hard marked Barrow’s entry into the genre.
