Product Description
Review
Praise for The Right Madness:
‘The Poet Laureate of American hard-boiled literature, superior even to James Lee Burke. No-one writes likes Crumley…a dark and memorable quest for salvation against a background of unremitting violence. Deeply compelling.’ Guardian
‘Reading Crumely is like hurtling through an assault course. A rare and exhilarating stylist… he is funny, salty and ruthless. One of the marvels of contemporary crime writing. Nobody does it better. It's unlikely that anyone would dare to try.’ Literary Review
‘The old boy done good as usual. Long may he live!’ Independent on Sunday
‘This is pulp fiction at its most profane, visceral and poetic’ Sunday Times
Praise for The Final Country:
‘This is an extraordinary double-barrelled blast from a lost era. It’s a two-fisted epic of Texan treachery, packed to the gunwales with sex, drugs, booze and guns.‘ Independent
‘Lyrical, liberal, exciting and humane. Sexy, too, with a generosity that transcends taste and as violent as needs be.’ Literary Review
‘This complex thriller is so hardboiled it makes Ellroy and Connelly read like Simon and Garfunkel…it’s good. Very good’ Time Out
Guardian

If you're a newcomer to Crumley and have started with this book, don't despair and go back to the early stories and start again.
This though is confused & confusing - major plot twists & characters suddenly appear with no warning - the plot itself is preposterous - and without giving too much away, almost everyone turns out to be guilty or dead.
In place of believable characters and storyline we get the modern inferior replacement - a high body count & increasingly unlikely & gory horror.
It's not often I feel this strongly about a book and I don't know whether to recommend it. Guess you'll have to make your own mind's up. Will have to read other titles by Crumley which may be the point of the exercise.
