Eye of the Cricket by James Sallis
5.0
One of my favourite authors who delivers novels in the crime noir genre - but that is a narrow classification and restricts the true scope of his work.
Sallis is a SUPERB writer per se who is up there with the very best. He mesmerises you gently and with such great skill. His prose is spare and tight, almost poetical at times. Page after amazing page of delightful dialogue and masterful plot rollout, laced with splashes of philosophy and moral insight, make him the master that he is.
If you like to read quality books - you should not miss out on James Sallis.
