NightFall

About this book

An almost perfect book spare balanced and inexplicably moving. Geoffrey OBrien Jim Vanning has an identity crisis. Is he an innocent artist who just happens to have some very dangerous people interested in him? Or is he a killer on the lam from his last murder with a satchel worth over $300 000 in tow? Relentlessly focused Nightfall may be David Goodis most accomplished novel. It is a fiendishly constructed maze filled with unpredictable pitfalls and human predators whose authenticity only makes them more terrifying. David Goodis (19171967) a former pulp radio and Hollywood script writer is now recognized as a leading author of crime fiction. Besides sojourns in New York City and Hollywood he lived primarily in Philadelphia.
