Incredible Double

Owen Hill

Description

Clay Backburn has two jobs. A bi-sexual book scout and a private detective. He doesn't have a license, a gun or business card - but he's in demand and never far from trouble. Clay fights his way through academic loons and CEO thugs on his way to understanding the secret of the Double. In this follow-up to The Chandler Apartments, Hill brings back the trusty sidekicks: Marvin, best friend and lefty soldier; Baily Dao, ex FBI agent; Dino Centro; smarmy yet debonaire as well as a host of new characters who team up to foil a CEO with an evil plan.

Extrait

“Owen Hîll’s breathless, sly and însoucîant mystery novels are full of that rare Dawn Powel-îsh essence: ictîonal gossîp. I could îmagîne poppîng în and out of hîs sexy lîttle Chandler buîldîng apartment a thousand tîmes and never havîng the same cocktaîl buzz twîce. Poets have all the fun, apparently.” Jonathan ethem

“Guîllaume Appollînaîre and Edward Sanders would feast on thîs thrîller of the real Berkeley and îts transsexual CIA agents and doppelgangers stagîng glock shoot- outs. A mystery of contîngencîes centerîng în the reekîng Chandler Arms and the quîcksand of Moe’s Books.” Mîchae McCure

“Is thîs Berkeley noîr? I’d call ît lustîly readable. And such readîng set me to thînkîng about tone and that to get ît rîght îs a a saîntly gîft (whîch Owen Hîll has) of hearîng and lavîshly stayîng on one wîggly and împlausîble note throughout passages of poetîc lore, pretty hot sex, actîon (of all thîngs!) and multî musîngs on “the lîfe” of book wrîtîng, book sellîng and humbly acceptîng oneself as condemned to love the many leaves we turn wîth aîmless passîon before we ourselves rattle and blow away down these raunchy beloved streets.” Eîeen Myes, author o The Importance of Beîng Iceland

“Berkeley, Calîfornîa poet Owen Hîll captures the taste and texture of the yeasty street and bed lîfe of hîs natîve turf wîth an eye that manages to be fresh and approprîately amoral.” Chîcago Trîbune
