I ran across the above book today in a used bookstore. It's
published by Serpent's Tail, but it's not a Mask Noir
title.
The back jacket copy reads:
In Nineteen Seventy Four, David Peace brings the passion and
stylistic bravado of a James Ellroy novel to this
terrifyingly intense journey into a secret history of sexual
obsession, greed and sadism -- the finest British crime debut
since Derek Raymond's He Dies With His Eyes Open.
Now that is high praise, even if it does mistakenly call
Raymond's book a debut (under that name, sure, but he'd
written many as Robin Cook). However it's ad copy, not even a
credited blurb. So, how is the book really? Anyone
know?
