Grifter’s game by Lawrence block is the first book published by Hard Case Crime and it’s as noirish as it can get. The protagonist is a con artist who has to kill a drug dealer husband to get the woman of his dreams.
The story moves fast and the tension keeps piling. I loved the book especially the ending which is as dark as it can get.
