Cops Writing Crime discussion

So last night I did a topic entry for the 4 authors I've read along the way (plus my own debut effort.
I've also gone back and sequentially numbered each author topic - more names are coming in so the list is expanding already - many thanks!
So far, then, we've got 2 from the USA, 2 from Australia, and 1 from France.
Dashiell Hammett & Joseph Wambaugh & P.M. Newton & A.B. Patterson & Laurent Guillaume
On to the list of those I've yet to have the pleasure of reading. My "to read" pile will be growing even faster now!
