Product Description

Michael Moorcock
"Sallis investigates the cynical, violent, sophisticated world of modern espionage with authority and originality. His adult view of spies and their world has all the delicious ambiguous atmosphere, the complexity of plot and character we expect from Graham Greene or John le Carre - and it goes like a bullet train. Sallis is a superb writer and this is his best novel yet!"

Jonathan Lethem
"Vivid and strange, with prose like blown glass, Death Will Have Your Eyes is somehow equal parts Borges and Trevanian's Shibumi. I was enthralled."

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved this book., 7 May 2009
This review is from: Death Will Have Your Eyes (No Exit Press 18 Years Classic) (Paperback)
This was such a refreshing change from the usual retired spy forced to return for one more mission and kill fellow agent gone rogue. All those aspects present but no gung ho violence, great dry humour, and a really believable hero with believable relationships. Also great atmosphere.

If you're looking for the usual mixture there are plenty of authors to go to. I was delighted to find this book, and this author who I had not heard of before. I'll now be looking for more of his books.

4.0 out of 5 stars Perpetual Motion, 22 Jun 2002
This is one of the classiest espionage books I've ever come across; rather than making the main protagonist yer average hard nosed Harry Palmer type, he is a real spook who would rather work in the shadows. Hauled back into the game against his will, a hunt takes place over a desolate road trip through the States. I'd say the plot is stark rather than thin and just provides a backdrop to pitch the characters against; I'd say this is more a book about the people that the events happen to, albeit a tale told in quite a detached cool way. You'll be left with a real sense of how murky and lonely the world of the second oldest profession is.

2.0 out of 5 stars Long on Atmosphere, Short on Story, 21 Nov 2001
By A. Ross (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Long on atmosphere and short on plot or action, this slim novel ultimately disappoints. The story follows a retired government assassin who is called upon to abandon his life as a sculptor to track down a former colleague who has turned freelance. As the duo play a rather dull cat and mouse game across the backroads of America, the pursuer meditates on the lonely life of the spy. Sallis captures the depressing bleak atmosphere of small-town strip-mall America, but there's not enough a a story to make it all worthwhile.
