Go for the Body: A Hardboiled Noir Crime Novel - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

A hard-edged mid-century crime novel from one of the most respected voices in American noir fiction. Ed Lacy's Go for the Body delivers a lean, relentless narrative rooted in violence, desperation, and the moral ambiguities that define classic hardboiled storytelling. Known for his tight prose and unflinching realism, Lacy crafts a story where survival often depends on how far a man is willing to go-and what he's willing to become in the process. Set against a gritty American backdrop, the novel follows characters caught in a web of crime, betrayal, and escalating consequences. Lacy's work stands apart for its psychological weight and social awareness, offering more than action-this is crime fiction with substance, where motives matter and outcomes carry lasting cost. Fans of mid-century noir and readers of writers such as Jim Thompson and David Goodis will find much to appreciate in this stark, uncompromising tale. This edition presents the complete text in a clean, readable format, preserving the tone and intensity of the original work while making it accessible for modern readers and collectors of classic crime fiction.
