The Long Legged Fly

Reviews / Votes

'He's right up there, one of the best of the best. His series of novels about private eye Lew Griffin is thoughtful, challenging and beautifully written' -- Ian Rankin * Guardian * 'Sallis has created in Lew Griffin one of the great literary characters and written what may very well be the last great detective novel' -- Brian Lindemuth * Spinetingler Magazine * 'Well worth the attention of anyone looking for a more unusual crime read' -- What Are You Reading For * Whatareyoureadingfor.com * 'His prose is a joy to read' -- Rob Kitchin * The View From the Blue House * The Long-Legged Fly is a novel of lost souls, troubled identities, of identities pared down to the bone. It's a secret history of American Identity caught in the web of an era when identity was shifting, scrambled, and ill-defined, almost paranoiac; a time when civil-rights turmoil was surfacing below the threshold of social and political worlds -- Craig Hickman * Dark Ecologies *
