Black Friday by David Goodis
TRADE PAPERBACK [1990] VINTAGE CRIME • BLACK LIZARD
Rare out of print crime novel from David Goodis, whose novels Dark Passage and Shoot the Piano Player greatly influenced modern cinema.
Decent reading copy with some *water damage to corners on rear 1/3 of the book. [see last photo] - does not affect text.
Cover has some heavy shelf wear, but otherwise looks fine. Extremely readable.
From the author of Dark Passage and Shoot the Piano Player (inspiration for the classic Truffaut film), Black Friday is a thriller about the dark ethics of crime, and the man unlucky enough to violate them.
With its chilling portrait of a doomed man sorting his way among the perverse loyalties of a criminal "family," Black Friday has all the earmarks of David Goodis's classics, Dark Passage and Shoot the Piano Player . It is a haunting and often devastating foray into a world where no one has anything left to lose and survival itself is an act of malice.
