Aprašymas
Sue Longtree is too young to be a matriarch, but when she moves to run down the story behind her brother’s suicide, she stands at the top looking down on a family in shambles. The suicide’s hardly a whodunit, as the private dick that Longtree hires, the hero of writer Michael Peck’s first novel, Harry Jome, sees it. Or is it? The answer may lie less in a wall’s bloodstains or the cheap framed prints that cover them than in the pages of a manuscript. The hardboiled meta-noir that is The Last Orchard in America channels both the noir genre’s suspense and seaminess, and at once offers an implicit critique of the culture that makes it possible.
Advance Praise:
"The black-hearted noir of our haunted country... Last Orchard unleashes a voice as wry, surprising and inventive as any in recent memory." —Peter Rock, author of The Shelter Cycle and My Abandonment
"Infectious, inescapable. This is noir on noir, cynical to the point of meta-reflection. You'll be itching through these pages for days after you're done." —Spencer Dew, author of Songs of Insurgency, among others
"It's the beautiful bastard child of The Long Goodbye, Pulp, and Confederacy of Dunces." —Andrew Armacost, author of The Poor Man'’s Guide to Suicide
"Hilariously deadpan noir parody and excellent noir at the same time." —Jamie Iredell, author of The Book of Freaks
