I have read Connie Willis "To Say Nothing of The Dog" which I enjoyed. I haven't read any Max Allan Collins. Have you read any Richard Stark books? I like the Parker series.

Decided to snag the Blakey and picked up the Carter/Bradford. (Missed a chance to get the Handy last week, which I was considering.)
