Not forgetting he was a good friend of James Crumley, who in
turn refers to Hugo and its (only) crime novel quite a few
times. They met at the University of Montana (Missoula), as
professors.
I red this novel early this year and, as claimed by many,
it's in the Chandler tradition -and even with somewhat from
Ross Mc Donald here and there (IMO). But the style of writing
is not a mimic of Chandler's. Big part of it takes place in
Montana. I really enjoyed the second half of the book, noir
and gripping. First publication was in 1981, and Hugo died in
82.
