Michael Chong and I think some others have mentioned Jason
Starr, and I'd like to second their recommendations. I just
finished NOTHING PERSONAL, which No Exit did and Four Walls
Eight Windows has just put out in the States. It's some cold
stuff, a really well done modern noir story that starts out
hilarious and ends up very, very grim. It's a fast read--hard
to put down--and the light-heartedness of the beginning stuck
with me and made the end surprise me with how dark it was,
although it's pretty much descent into hell for everyone
concerned.
He has a web site at
http://hometown.aol.com/Jasonstarr/
which mentions some movie stuff and that his third book, FAKE
I.D., will be coming out from No Exit later this year. His
first, COLD CALLER, is out in England and North America. Can
anyone tell me how it is? I'm going to looking for it.
