A bellhop, Dusty Rhodes, is drawn into murder and betrayal at a seemingly respectable hotel in this dark crime thriller.
About
Details
Now available for the first time in an illustrated hardcover edition with a new introduction by Duane Swierczynski. The Manton looks like a respectable hotel. Dusty Rhodes looks like a selfless young man working as a bellhop. And the woman in 1004 looks like an angel. But sometimes looks can kill, as Jim Thompson demonstrates in this vision of the crime novel as gothic.
