Review
"David Goodis is the mystery man of hardboiled fiction. . . . He write of winos and barroom piano players and small-time thieves in a vein of tortured lyricism all his own. . . . He was the poet of the losers." --Geoffrey O'Brien
Product Description
From the author of
Dark Passage and
Shoot the Piano Player, a thriller about the dark ethics of crime, and the man unlucky enough to violate them.
With its chilling portrait of a doomed man sorting his way among the perverse loyalties of a criminal "family,"
Black Friday has all the earmarks of David Goodis's classics,
Dark Passage and
Shoot the Piano Player. It is a haunting and often devastating foray into a world where no one has anything left to lose and survival itself is an act of malice.
