WR599 - The Lonely Places of Dorothy B. Hughes

It’s a mystery to us why novelist Dorothy B. Hughes isn’t as well known as her fellow mid-century hardboiled/noir counterparts Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett. This week, we’re discussing her 1963 crime novel The Expendable Man, a psychological thriller that had us on the edge of our seat—and even questioning our own instincts. Discussed in this episode: The Expendable Man by Dorothy B.
