A timeless classic from one of crime fiction's most iconic authors.
James Crumley was born in Three Rivers, Texas and spent most of his
childhood in South Texas. He served three years in the US Army
before teaching at University of Texas at El Paso, University of
Montana and University of Arkansas. He passed away in 2008.
His private eye novels featuring Milo Milodragovitch and C. W.
Sughrue are regarded as masterpieces of contemporary crime fiction,
praised by Dennis Lehane, Ian Rankin and George Pelecanos. He was
awarded the Dashiell Hammett Award for Best Literary Crime Novel
and the CWA Silver Dagger Award.
An exceptionally good example of the private-eye novel. Crumley
writes about damaged people seen through a haze of jaded
romanticism
