P.I. C.W. Sughrue roams the American West searching for poet Abraham Trahearne in this classic mystery.
I saw this book on several lists of the all time greatest PI books, and I have to say I was not disappointed. It is a great book, and in fact it enocuraged me to read more by the author (though so far nothing else of his comes close to this one). A must read for lovers of crime fiction.
One of the great hardboiled classics of the modern era, with C. W. Sughrue searching for a 10 years missing girl. It has perhaps the best first paragraph of a mystery novel, ever.
