Seven years ago, when I interviewed writer Adam Christopher about his noir science fiction novel Made To Kill, he said it was his attempt to write what he imagined iconic noir author Raymond Chandler would come up with if he tried to write a sci-fi story. But usually writers aren’t that…exact when it comes to paying homage. So much so that it took this long for someone to say something similar. Though what’s interesting is that the book in question — Marion Deeds’ noir urban fantasy novella, Comeuppance Served Cold (paperback, Kindle) — would also be inspired by Dashiell Hammett, an iconic noir author who himself inspired Chandler.
