Tough little noir thriller
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
In 1971, long before John Lutz wrote the infamous Single White Female Seeks Same (made into the questionable thriller SWF), he penned this 165-page punchy novel, a hardboiled tale of a man on the run. Lou Roebuck accidentally on purpose kills another man who wronged him sometime before, then soon after robs the safe of the president of the company where he is no longer employed. Then he lams out.While on the run he picks up Ellie, a good looking woman drifter whose morals may not be as clean as Lou initially thinks they are. And then things happen. Since this is a noir thriller, you can bet that those things are not exactly all good.Lutz is a smart, capable writer--sparse and trenchant, tough and sharp. This is an excellent read for those who want an effective little dose of noir medicine. Recommended.
