Jim Thompson

[big_new_prinz]

Without a doubt the best crime writer for me, it feels like reading a living nightmare and completely scrambles your perspective on peoples motive and the world at large, looking forward to start on the Savage Art bio and from what ive read the mans life was as twisted as his books.

Yep, if you like your crime hard-boiled, you can't do better than Jim Thompson. "The Grifters" is an absolute classic, and it knocks the film version into a cocked hat.
