Jim Nisbet is the author of five volumes of poetry and nine novels, including The Damned Don't Lie, Dark Companion, which was short-listed for the 2006 Hammett Prize, Lethal Injection, A Moment of Doubt, and Windward Passage. He lives in San Francisco.
"Missing any book by Nisbet should be considered a crime in all 50
states and maybe against humanity."
--Bill Ott, Booklist "Jim Nisbet is a poet...[who] resembles no
other crime fiction writer. He mixes the irony of Dantesque
situations with lyric narration, and achieves a luxuriant cocktail
that truly leaves the reader breathless."
--Drood's Review of Mysteries "Jim Nisbet is a lot more than just
good...powerful, provocative...Nisbet's style has overtones of
Walker Percy's smooth southern satin, but his characters--losers,
grifters, con men--hark back to the days of James M. Cain's twisted
images of morality."
--Toronto Globe-Mail "Jim Nisbet's work has been tapping directly
into the pulse of America for decades. Like others who have done
the same in the past, its only later that the rest of us catch up
and realize just how right those trailblazers were all along. That
time is now, for all of us to not only catch up to this unheralded
master but to offer him the respect and regard that he
deserves."
