THE DISTANCE (and its follow up SHADOW BOXER) is one of my
all time favourite books. Eddie Muller is a wonderful fiction
writer (as well as being THE expert on noir in my opinion -
his non fiction is written with the same great style and
panache as his fiction). My Christmas wish would be more
fiction from Muller- he's one of the very best as far as I'm
concerned.
