The Grifters

Autor Jim Thompson De (artist) Patrick Loehr, Paul Wedlake

en Limba Engleză Hardback – 22 dec 2014

Now available for the first time in an illustrated hardcover edition with a new introduction. Roy Dillon seems too handsome and well-mannered to be a professional con man. Lilly Dillon looks too young—and loves Roy a little too intensely—to be taken for his mother. Moira Langtry is getting too old to keep on living off the kindness of male strangers. And Carol Roberg seems too innocent to be acquainted with suffering.

Recenzii

Jim Thompson is the best suspense writer going, bar none
Casts a dazzling light on the human condition
I don't read many books twice but Jim Thompson novels - due to their concise, dirty power, their relentless violence and purity - can always draw me in for a second time. Some of the most psychological crime writing ever done. I love James M Cain and Elmore Leonard but Jim Thompson holds a special place in my heart.
One of the toughest crime novels ever
My favourite crime novelist - often imitated but never duplicated - is Jim Thompson
If Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett, and Cornell Woolrich could have joined together in some ungodly union and produced a literary offspring, Jim Thompson would be it
The most hard-boiled of all the American writers of crime fiction
