The Final Country by James Crumley 2002 ISBN - 0-89296-666-1 Mysterious Press

James Crumley has been one of the most influential fiction writers for many years. He is author of praised and collected crime novels featuring two PI's from Montana. His first three mysteries, The Wrong Case, Dancing Bear and The Last Good Kiss are outstanding examples of the crime novel as modern literature. His newest book, The Final Country, is also outstanding. It is a non-stop manic ride, filled with drugs, evil characters, murder and revenge. As with his other books, it is beautifully written, original and seems to be charged with with its own electricity. Milo is back in top form.
