Loving this - seems like top-tier Goodis. As for something on page 117…uh, even knowing this author from other books, that was NOT a sentence where you expect to see the word “zebra”. Just sayin’. Just brayin’.

Wow. An almost perfect opening 40 pages. Vicious mugging (with a bit of kindness mixed in), some relaxing chat in a bar (amid a smidge of tension), over to a card game, transition to an attempted kidnapping. I'm in for the long haul!...

Okay! I reserve the right to: (a) go to my “JDC and Friends” summer project TBR list, (b) take out one Golden Age whodunit, and (c) replace it with a recently-acquired David Goodis novel, that admittedly is not in the spirit of John Dickson Carr…but does spice up my original roster and helps kill off any burgeoning “samey-ness” creeping into the last stages of a long reading project. Plus I love Goodis (usually)!
