Atmospheric . . . Sallis develops an interesting kinship between
cop and killer
*New York Times*
The Killer is Dying is beautifully written . . . read as an
extended prose poem, it's well-nigh perfect
*The Guardian*
Beautifully written and subtly brought together
*The Times*
Unlike those pretenders who play in dark alleys and think they're
tough, James Sallis writes from an authentic noir sensibility, a
state of mind that hovers between amoral indifference and profound
existential despair
*New York Times*
Wonderful writing that stitches a complex picture of America's
south west, with the story of a killer and a cop as part of that
tapestry
*Crime Fiction Lover*
