Description

From the National Book Award-winning, bestselling author ofTree of Smoke comes a provocative thriller set in the American West.Nobody Move, which first appeared in the pages of Playboy, is the story of an assortment of lowlifes in Bakersfield, California, and their cat-and-mouse game over $2.3 million. Touched by echoes of Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett,Nobody Move is at once an homage to and a variation on literary form. It salutes one of our most enduring and popular genres–the American crime novel–but with a grisly humor and outrageousness that are Denis Johnson s own. Sexy, suspenseful, and above all entertaining,Nobody Move shows one of our greatest novelists at his versatile best.
