![]() ![]() Author: Nisbet Jim Publisher: Overlook Pr Smart, bored, attractive and single, Mattie Brooke is a not quite over-the-hill waitress in the tiny town of Dip, Washington. She’s lived all but one year of her life in Dip, and not much of what goes on there escapes her eye. But then, not much of what goes on in Dip is worth noticing. That is, until a traveling salesman named Tucker Harris drifts into town. Mattie cuts out on her steady guy just long enough for this stranger to introduce her to his bizarre brand of safe sex, and after Tucker splits, Mattie figures to go on with her life the same as before. What begins as sassy complicity in a capricious tryst triggers a subtle and vertiginous slide into hell, with no stops for beer or introspection. Mattie suffers the horrible revelation that there will be no savior capable of rescuing her sanity?let alone her life. € 14,80

![]() ![]() Author: Nisbet Jim Publisher: Independent Pub Group In the new novel from noir master Jim Nisbet, the Snitch World in question is actually made up of different worlds both old and new, populated with the old-time petty criminals, like Chainbang and Klinger, but also with the modern, including a nouveau femme fatale whose tools of the criminal trade are from the new economy. Snitch World takes place in a San Francisco of menacing technology, where the old cons come up short and the crimes of the night turn into crimes done in the light of modern day—all from the glow of a smartphone. Klinger hangs out at the Hawse Hole Bar and Grille, a pretty bad dive where all he really wants is enough to have a cup of coffee, buy some cigarettes, make it through the day, and find a warm, dry place to sleep; all things that can be accomplished by the next easy grift. Little does Klinger know that the rules of the game have changed, and the stakes are higher than he could ever guess or care about. The seemingly simple act of rolling a drunk begins a series of events that get stranger and more complicated by the moment. Jim Nisbet, with his characteristic humor and brilliant prose, creates a world where to trust is to possibly sacrifice all. Snitch World includes a recent interview with Jim Nisbet, in conversation with Patrick Marks, owner of the Green Arcade, talking about writing, publishing, and technology. € 14,60

![]() ![]() Author: Nisbet Jim Publisher: Time Crime 'Ho sempre voluto scuoiare una donna' Questo è il folgorante incipit di 'I dannati non muoiono'. Queste sono le parole che l'investigatore privato Martin Windrow trova scritte su un foglio di carta in una macchina da scrivere nell'appartamento accanto a quello di Virginia Sarapath, vittima di un efferato omicidio avvenuto la notte precedente. Forse, sono le semplici farneticazioni di uno scrittore fallito che ama origliare o, forse, è la traccia di un movente per un assassino in fuga. Le prime indagini rivelano che la donna, al momento dell'aggressione, si trovava a letto con un uomo, travolta da un amplesso sfrenato. Un gioco erotico che si è spinto oltre o una messinscena per coprire qualcosa di più oscuro? Inizia così la caccia al presunto colpevole o forse all'unico testimone che è in grado di svelare un intricato mondo sotterraneo fatto di sesso e droga, e di un piacere morboso che svela il labile confine tra amore e odio. Una complessa storia sui rapporti tra vittime e carnefici in un noir a tinte fosche - qui arricchito di un finale inedito, espressamente scritto da Jim Nisbet per 'Timecrime'. € 7,70

![]() ![]() Author: Nisbet Jim Publisher: Overlook Pr From the writer whose work has been called “truly, hellishly gritty” (Los Angeles Times) comes a gnarled mystery with shades of Philip K. Dick and James Ellroy Jim Nisbet is a cult favorite in Europe and itÂ's easy to see why. HeÂ's “a lot more than just good . . . his style has overtones of Walker PercyÂ' s smooth southern satin, but his characters—losers, grifters, con men—hark back to the days of James M. CainÂ's twisted images of morality,” writes the Toronto Globe-Mail. In the tradition of Jim Thompson and Damon Runyon, Jim Nisbet is too good to miss and Windward Passage is a masterpiece that raises the bar even for a master like Nisbet. In the parallel near-future, a ship named for a jellyfish sinks into the Caribbean with its captain chained to the mast. Left behind is a logbook missing ten pages, presidential DNA hidden in a brick of smuggled cocaine, and a nearly-completed novel. Tipsy, the dead sailorÂ' s sister, and Red Means, his erstwhile employer, travel from San Francisco to the Caribbean and back as they attempt to unravel a mystery that rapidly widens from death at sea to international conspiracy. With verve and humor to match the Illuminati Trilogy, Nesbitt has fashioned an engaging facsimile of our modern world, albeit with snappier dialogue, amped-up technology, and even more clearly stated political prejudices. “Neither Norman Mailer nor Truman Capote has in their writing been able to produce such an intensity as Nisbet has achieved,” writes GermanyÂ's Die Welt. Pick up Windward Passage and see why. Praise for the work of Jim Nisbet “Sure, Nisbet breaks all the rules, but thatÂ's really the whole point. His novels are the literary equivalent of road trips, and a good road trip follows no map.” — Booklist “Jim NisbetÂ's power of suggestion . . . seduces the imagination without churning the stomach.” —Wichita Times-Record “NisbetÂ's prose drives and sparkles as it takes the reader into a world without morality or ethics.” —San Antonio Express-News € 24,30

![]() ![]() Author: Nisbet Jim Publisher: Fanucci Stanley Ahearn trascorre ogni venerdì sera della sua vita solitaria in un bar del distretto a luci rosse di San Francisco. Durante una di queste serate il locale è quasi deserto, e Stanley inizia a chiacchierare con una donna, una bella donna dagli occhi verdi. In seguito, avrebbe soltanto ricordato di aver lasciato il bar assieme a lei. Tre giorni dopo Stanley si sveglia al Golden Gate Park, chiuso in un sacco a pelo, come fosse morto. E scopre che è stato sottoposto a un'operazione: gli manca un rene, prezioso bottino di una banda di ladri di organi. Un attimo prima di essere dimesso dall'ospedale, perché non ha un'assicurazione, un dottore lo informa gentilmente che qualcosa non funziona nel rene che gli è rimasto. Stanley Ahearn ha scoperto di avere davanti a sé una nuova vita. Dovrà scoprire chi è davvero la donna dagli occhi verdi, e se vuole continuare a vivere avrà bisogno di un trapianto. Forse Stanley scoprirà che la vita e la vendetta sono la stessa cosa.
