OAKLEY HALL OBITUARY

You can follow the link below to my June 18 Guardian obit of Oakley Hall, who, while not nominally a crime writer, committed some crime novels in his past, and, in Warlock, wrote a marvelous reinvention of the Gunfight At The OK Corral. As I generally argue, westerns are crime novels in the sense that blues is jazz....

Speaking of which, jazz and westerns, a tip of the sombrero to John Harvey for alerting me to Hall's death and suggesting I ought to prevail upon the G to take note of it.
