Jon Talton is one of the most interesting writers about Phoenix. By contrast to others who use Phoenix as a convenient setting for detective fiction, Talton uses this genre to interpret the past-as-present. In "Dry Heat" (2004), moreover, his narrative focuses on the contrasting fate of two famous Phoenix residential neighborhoods.
