“From the bridge, the riverbanks stretch into the distance, narrowing, until they pinch and close, succumbing to forest. The sun is low and cold; mist lifts from the water. It is somewhere there, along that stretch, that the body is buried. I don’t know where. To be frank, I don’t care.”
From dark Buffalo streets to the dockyards of Eastern Canada, these gripping noir tales embed the reader in the gritty world that exists beneath the pristine beauty of a winter’s night.
In Six Feet Deep, the line between right and wrong isn’t just uncertain – it doesn’t seem to exist at all. With femme fatales, anti-heroes, and dirty cops, this slim tome is Balsom’s modern answer to Raymond Chandler, Humphrey Bogart, and Rita Hayworth.
