Produktbeschreibung

'Crumley in scintillating form: an anarchic, savagely violent and brilliantly written lament for a vanishing past' Evening Standard

James Crumley is the king of hard-boiled noir, credited with inspiring the next generation of crime writers - including Dennis Lehane and Michael Connelly - and best known for his two private detectives, Milo Milodragovitch and C. W. Sughrue. He brought them together for one wild, pulse-pounding ride. This is that story.

Someone shot Sughrue and left him for dead, and someone stole Milo's $3million inheritance. And they're not the kind of men to let it go. They've joined forces in El Paso and they're set for a wild ride across America. They're out for revenge...

'No one in American crime fiction writes sharper, more authentic dialogue, nor more exciting action, nor, beneath the tough façade, has a greater feel for the values and mores that really matter' The Times
