Just dove into 70s crime novels—absolute masterpieces that still hit hard today.

Been going down a '70s crime thriller rabbit hole lately and I’m blown away. These books do not miss.

• No Beast So Fierce – Edward Bunker (10/10)
• Hard Rain Falling – Don Carpenter (9.5/10)
• The Friends of Eddie Coyle – George V. Higgins (9.5/10)
• Dead City – Shane Stevens (underrated gem)

There’s something raw, honest, and unfiltered in this era’s writing—like they ripped the truth straight from the streets. Anyone else into this 70s pulp wave? Why do you think these still get so much praise today? Drop your thoughts or recs below.
