First-Rate Detective Novel
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
No gimmick here. Gores has written, first and formost, the best hard-boiled detective novel I've read in a long time. The historical portrait of Hammett only makes it that much more endearing.
In the best tradition of Hammett and Chandler
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
A wonderfully suspenseful novel that would make the real Dashiell Hammett proud. Gores did his homework well and it shows. I'm pleased to find that someone is carrying the torch for Hammett, and Chandler too. I've read all of their novels and this one rates right up there with the best. I look forward to the movie being released on DVD.
