Humor is vital to Ballard's work. Yes, there's the usual fast action and convoluted plotting that readers of the hard-boiled subgenre demand, but Ballard's central characters were always able to laugh at themselves and the situations they stumbled into. For that reason, his detective novels and stories have aged remarkably well, and it's a damned shame that they're all out of print. Ballard's masterpiece, if you're curious, is 1967's Murder Las Vegas Style (after which he bade farewell to crime fiction to concentrate on Westerns), but the Lennox series is extraordinarily readable as well. Murder Can't Stop is my favorite among the four. ( )
