Most everyone has heard of Dashiell Hammett, Raymond Chandler, and James M. Cain, but McCoy's novels are rarely in print nowadays. One of his best novels, <i>They Shoot Horses, Don't They?</i> was widely regarded as a minor masterpiece upon its original release in 1935. But over the ensuing years it gradually disappeared from bookstore shelves. Maybe it was too bitter. Maybe it was too unrelenting in its depiction of a depression-era dance marathon. <p><a href="default-nf.htm">Go to the review</a></font> </body>
