The Last Good Kiss:
Called one of the finest PI novels ever by writers as notable as Dennis Lehane, George Pelecanos and Michael Connelly, The Last Good Kiss is an unforgettable detective story starring C.W. Sughrue, a Montana investigator who kills time by working at a topless bar. Hired to track down a derelict author, he ends up on the trail of a girl missing in Haight-Ashbury for a decade. The tense hunt becomes obsessive as Sughrue takes a haunting journey through the underbelly of America’s sleaziest nightmares.
The Final Country:
A New York Time Notable Book of the year and winner of the British Crime Writers’ Silver Dagger award. Milo Milogragovitch, Crumley’s uncontrollable, cocaine-snorting Montanan, takes centre stage in this adrenaline-fuelled thriller by the master of hard-boiled fiction. This time Milo’s trying to find his feet in Texas, earning a living as a bar owner and a PI on the side. A tedious job tracking down a runaway wife takes a violent turn when he finds himself in a bar with ex-con Enos Walker, who’s out for revenge on the partners who turned him in. Turning a gun on Walker, bar manager Billy Long has accidently shot himself and the police are only too keen to add his murder to the long list of crimes Walker’s in the frame for. Only Milo’s testimony can save him from a death sentence, but Milo’s got problems of his own in the shape of sultry lawyer Molly McBride. Hurtling from the plains of Texas to the desert town of Las Vegas, from the freezing Montana mountains to the Gulf of Mexico and the final bloody showdown, The Final Country is a non-stop roller-coaster ride that will leave you breathless.
One to Count Cadence:
Crumley’s debut novel, conceived as his master’s thesis when studying creative writing in the University of Iowa. Set in Vietnam in 1962, Sergeant Krummel assumes command of a crew of drunken enlistees. A compelling study of the gratuitous violence in men, Krummel’s band survive military absurdities and confront their worst fears while losing faith in America.
