I first read Thunder City, as recommended by a friend who is an avid reader of Estleman, and enjoyed it thoroughly. However, I found the slang and lingo of the era in this book to be so difficult as to distract me from the storyline. Wish I could remember some of the words, but the book has gone back to the library. The only term I think I translated correctly is the one used for cops. Can anyone help me with a "key" to these words so I can give the book a second try? Would prefer an answer via email: dhanover12@comcast.net
