Sam Moore
enjoyably gonzo and shot through with dark humour; does the almost farcical escalation of stakes and double crossing that I got from watching The Big Sleep (maybe noir thrillers and farce are inherently similar?)
Jackson at the center a naive, suffering figure but one who remains fundamentally good in the face of a strange and violent underbelly. Love Himes’ ear for dialogue and the bleak poetry in his more protracted description
