There's always a lot of talk of following in Marlowe's footsteps, but this is the closest anyone's ever gotten. However, this is not a Chandler imitation, Harris stakes out his own vision of LA and humanity in general.I hear, after how many years, he's finally gotten down to writing a third Kyd novel. Can't wait!
I thought it excellent.

One of the best mystery books I have ever read--- a special kick if you live in LA. Why the hell no one ever made this book into a film I cannot understand; well, thinking about Hollywood, I guess I can understand. Timothy--- write another for me! (Well, actually there is another- but two are not enough).
