Synopsis

Book by Thompson Jim

A propos du livre

Revue de presse

"The best suspense writer going, bar none."―The New York Times

"My favorite crime novelist-often imitated but never duplicated."―Stephen King

"If Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett and Cornell Woolrich would have joined together in some ungodly union and produced a literary offspring, Jim Thompson would be it...His work...casts a dazzling light on the human condition."―Washington Post

"Like Clint Eastwood's pictures it's the stuff for rednecks, truckers, failures, psychopaths and professors ... one of the finest American writers and the most frightening, [Thompson] is on best terms with the devil. Read Jim Thompson and take a tour of hell."―The New Republic

"The master of the American groin-kick novel."―Vanity Fair

"The most hard-boiled of all the American writers of crime fiction."―Chicago Tribune

Présentation de l'éditeur

James Meyers Thompson (Jim Thompson) was an American writer who never attained full recognition for his talent until after his death in 1977. Now, he is rightly regarded as a master of noir who turned the crime genre into literature and art. A number of Thompson’s books became popular films. Jim Thompson made his reputation writing from the bad guy’s point of view, and Nothing More than Murder, which focuses on a murderous plot by a small town theater owner, his wife and his lover, is no exception. However some if his short stories are rare detective stories, such as “The Car in the Mexican Quarter” that was originally published in Nebraska Farmer, and “Forever After” that appeared in the first issue of SHOCK magazine. Both stories are included as a Bonus in this book
