About this ebook
'A fast-paced, violent, hugely entertaining crime caper' – The Times
Sacramento, California. Jimmy Luntz owes money to a man called Juarez. Trouble is, Juarez isn't the most patient of men. And when he gets bored of waiting, he sends someone round to collect. Luntz doesn't actually plan to shoot the guy, but the way he sees it, it's shoot or be shot. Either way, though, Luntz is out of his league, and he knows it: nobody messes with Juarez — or, at least, nobody messes with Juarez and lives to tell the tale. Against all the odds, however, it seems that somebody up there is looking out for Luntz, if only he can keep his cool.
Nobody Move is a thrilling story of mistaken identity, blackmail, murder, bent judges and wronged alcoholics from acclaimed American novelist Denis Johnson, author of Tree of Smoke.
'Punchy and entertaining' – The Daily Telegraph
'Idiosyncratic brilliance' – The Guardian
'A lean, rough, dizzying amoral noir thriller' – Time
'Hugely enjoyable and fast-moving' – The New York Times
'Summons Dashiell Hammett and Cormac McCarthy. Terrific stuff' – GQ
Now part of the Picador Collection, a series showcasing the very best of modern literature.
