The Long Legged Fly by James Sallis
'Sallis is a superb writer'
There are those who vanish into the steaming New Orelans night - and
it is part time Private Investigator, Repo-man and blues afficionado
Lew Griffin's job to find them. A prisoner of the bottle, his past
and his skin, Griffin knows every hidden corner of Hell...and is on
intimate terms with the demons who dwell there. But the disapperence
of a militant woman activist is about to set Griffin on a roller-coaster
careening towards rock bottom - carrying the brilliant, tormented
black P.I. ever closer to a nightmare that threatens to hit him where
he lives..and more brutally than he ever imagined possible.
PRAISE FOR
JAMES SALLIS
'Sallis investigates the cynical, violent, sophisticated world of modern espionage with authority and originality. His adult view of spies and their world has all the delicious, ambiguous atmosphere, the complexity of plot and character we expect from Graham Green or John le Carre - and it goes like a bullet train. Sallis is a superb writer and this is his best novel yet!' - Michael Moorcock.
'Speaking of James Sallis in the same tone as Poe and Dostoevski is not overblowing on my part. His early work indicates a mind and a talent of uncommon dimensions. He may well be one of the significant ones' - Harlan Ellison
'Better than James Lee Burke and Walter Mosley.' - Crime Time
'One of the most intriguing, disturbing, literate, intelligent and powerful novels I've read in years.' - David Bradley
