Thieves Like Us (Paperback)

By Edward Anderson

$15.95

ISBN-13: 9781596545786
Availability: On Our Shelves Now
Published: Blackmask.com, 05/01/2008

Like the work of Dashiell Hammett, this stunning 1935 character-driven noir novel bears the minimalist stamp of a true Hemingway disciple.  More about how criminals live between their acts of violence & theft, the novel is a clear precursor to modern literary crime noir like Barry Gifford’s “Wild at Heart”.  Maybe best of all, Anderson here did a phenomenal job of capturing the sights, sounds & idioms of the 1930’s.
