So I just bought a book today called "Dark Tide," about a molasses tank that exploded in Boston in the early 1900s and sent a tidal wave of molasses through the city--I am not joking. It looks like a really good book, if you are into books on American history. It's gotten really good reviews.

Was Goodis from Philly? Also look at
Geoffrey Homes (Build My Gallows High),
and Wade Miller (Badge of Evil - AKA
Touch of Evil).
