Jim Nisbet

Opis

What kind of a world is 'Snitch World'? It is a culmination of many different worlds - some old, some new. This world is a San Francisco of menacing technology, where the old cons come up too short, too slow - and where the crimes of the night have made way for those committed from the glow of a screen.

Recenzje

"Missing any book by Nisbet should be considered a crime in all 50 states and maybe against humanity."
-Bill Ott, Booklist

"Jim Nisbet is a poet...[who] resembles no other crime fiction writer. He mixes the irony of Dantesque situations with lyric narration, and achieves a luxuriant cocktail that truly leaves the reader breathless."
-Drood's Review of Mysteries

"Jim Nisbet is a lot more than just good...powerful, provocative...Nisbet's style has overtones of Walker Percy's smooth southern satin, but his characters-losers, grifters, con men-hark back to the days of James M. Cain's twisted images of morality."
-Toronto Globe-Mail

"Jim Nisbet's work has been tapping directly into the pulse of America for decades. Like others who have done the same in the past, its only later that the rest of us catch up and realize just how right those trailblazers were all along. That time is now, for all of us to not only catch up to this unheralded master but to offer him the respect and regard that he deserves."
-Spinetingler
