Randal Brandt, Bancroft Curator of the California Detective Fiction Collection, put together a special exhibit on Genre Fiction of California at the California International Antiquarian Book Fair. One case in the exhibit was dedicated to Dashiell Hammett and authors he influenced. My second book, Vulture Capital, was included along with the following:

• The Maltese Falcon by Dashiell Hammett
• Hammett by Joe Gores
• Spade and Archer by Joe Gores
• Death and Taxes by David Dodge
• City of Dragons by Kelli Stanley
