I don't understand what all the fuss is about. Successor to Hammett and Chandler? Has neither the toughness of Hammett nor the wisecracking wit of Chandler. Just one unpleasant and seedy event after another, with a “surprise” revelation of the obvious killer. It isn't terrible, just not exceptional.
