Nat Hentoff's jazz mystery?

[ghost of miles]

Last night I was prowling through our local used-bookstore for a copy of Le Carre's THE SPY WHO CAME IN FROM THE COLD. I finally found one, but, as usual, I came across a couple of other curiosities that I ended up purchasing as well. One of them was a 1984 Mysterious Press paperback by Nat Hentoff, entitled BLUES FOR CHARLIE DARWIN. It appears to be a crime story set amidst the jazz-world of Greenwich Village... anybody else ever read this?

No, but I hope it is better than Bob Weinstock's novel.

I read this years ago, and enjoyed it as a weekend read.

Hentoff also wrote a second detective novel which I read but can't recall the title.

Probably CALL THE KEEPER. I read this with some pleasure in

the late 60's.

didnt bob weinstock write a porno, or prono book or something? That is awesome. i mean, what do you do after you invented PRESTIGE. I mean hell--- porn really seems like the only logical avenue to go down. Think of all the chicks who would want to put out when they found out he invented PRESTIGE. Well maybe none, but that would be pretty cool if he found one.

I read Call the Keeper back then also, but the title I was trying to remember was The Man from Internal Affairs.

What is Nat's prose style like in the novels? I like him, but his liner notes have too much flowery language. I can always tell that it's him before I see the name at the end.
