KISS THE BLOOD OFF MY HANDS- GERALD BUTLER
Hi JaneC,
I like this book. It reads like Steve Fisher's I Wake Up
Screaming, only it was written the year before, in the UK, by
an advertising copywriter who worked in the same place as
Eric Ambler. This was Butler's first novel, an enormous
bestseller, on a par with No Orchids For Miss Blandish. He
wrote 5 other novels, some of them filmed - most famously Mad
With Much Heart was filmed by Nicholas Ray as On Dangerous
Ground/Dark Highway. I'm currently writing a small piece on
Butler for my little book on Noir Fiction (see
www.pocketessentials.com) out April in the UK.
Enjoy,
- paul
