Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“An astonishingly well-written literary novel that just happened to be about (or roundabout) a crime.”
—Oxford American
“The protagonist, ex-convict Tim Sunblade, is a quintessential antihero, an unrepentant bastard who executes a daring armed-car robbery in Colorado with the help of a call girl, Virginia, whom he picked up in a backwoods Mississippi motel. The details of the crime and its aftermath are vividly described, and the love-hate relationship between Sunblade and the woman and the demons in both that lead to their downfall are masterpieces of dark-side character development.” —Bill Pronzini, Mystery File
Elliott Chaze (1915–1990) was an old-school newspaper man who began his journalism career with the New Orleans bureau of the Associated Press shortly before Pearl Harbor,
worked for a time for AP’s Denver office after paratrooper service in WWII, and then migrated south to Mississippi where he spent twenty years as a reporter and award-winning columnist. He is the
author of several novels.
