CRISS - CROSS / THE CHEAT by DON TRACY
"All women are bitches," I said. She smiled at me. Her eyes were deep and black. "All women are cheats and liars and bitches," I told her.
"I'm not," she said. "I'm a whore."
"You're different," I said. "I mean real women."

" He'd been smarter than me.
All along I'd thought he was dumb and that I was giving him the big cross and now I was finding out that he knew all along and was just waiting to throw it into me.
I was the dumb one.
And I was paying for being dumb. "

REVIEW: Criss-Cross -- Don Tracy
BY AUGUST WEST @ Vintage Hardboiled Reads
Well written and sharp. I really enjoyed the novel and it's atmosphere of the struggling times of 1930s Baltimore. If you read it, you'll enjoy the numerous boxing references in the story-the author uses them to help define the character of Johnny Thompson. And the novel contains one of the great lines that I read recently:
A big girl in a white evening dress came out and sang "For All We Know" in a voice like a dentist's drill.

Also wrote as: Roger Fuller, Barnaby Ross
" A neglected figure (at least in his own country; his crime fiction has a cult following in France), Tracy was an amazingly fertile talent whose broad interests and experiences animated both hack assignments and more personal works through nearly 50 years of professional writing. Born in New Britain, Connecticut, he worked as a journalist as a young man, first at the New Britain Herald, then at the Baltimore Post in Maryland. The move south would prove significant, as much of Tracy's subsequent creative output would find inspiration in the people and places, the history, and current social mores of the South's eastern shore, from Maryland to Florida..."

What is 'Noir'?
Excerpt from the book 'Film Noir' by Alain Silver and James Ursini
How did a cycle of the American cinema become one of the most influential movements in film history? During its classic period, which lasted from 1941 to 1958, noir films were derided by critics of the time...
...The publication of several essays in English on noir, most importantly Raymond Durgnat`s ‘Paint It Black: The Family Tree of Film Noir` (Cinema 6/7, August 1970) and Paul Schrader`s ‘Notes on Film Noir` (Film Comment 8, Spring 1972), followed in the early 1970s. Still, when the first comprehensive survey of film noir in English, Film Noir, An Encyclopedic Reference to the American Style, first appeared in 1979, the term ‘film noir` was still mostly unknown outside of film school circles. Finally, with the added impact of a burgeoning neo-noir movement in the 1980s, the mainstream press took up the term. By the time the Terminator blasted through a nightclub called Tech Noir in 1984, the debate over what constitutes film noir was in full swing.
