BITTERLY FUNNY . . . [A] SLEEK FIRST NOVEL . . . NOIR CRIME . . . HAS FOUND A STERLING NEW CHAMPION IN PHILLIPS. The New York Times Book Review A FUTURE HARD-BOILED CLASSICTIGHT, COLD, AND CACKLING WITH IRONY. On Christmas Eve [in Wichita], a mob lawyer is skipping town with the cash. But in this boozy, neo-noir worldJames M. Cain meets George V. Higginsthe best-laid plans of bagmen turn brutal. The Dallas Morning News OMINOUS, ACTION-PACKED. . . This is a confident, wry debut . . . [that] may remind readers of Fargo or Pulp Fiction. Detroit Free Press I SIMPLY CANT WAIT TO SEE WHAT SCOTT PHILLIPS WILL DO NEXT. [This] funny, tough first novel felt like it was written by an old pro, an Elmore Leonard weve never heard about whos discovered a place where the criminals are really dumb, the low-lifes are oh-so-fun to watch and, if somebody just happens to get what he deserves, theres no one to blame.

Watched this “Christmas Movie” for the first time last night and learned it was based on a book with the same title. Great dark (very dark) comedy starring John Cusack (one of my faves)! 🎄🎅🏻 #NotYourTypicalChristmasMovie

Finished Chandler, moved without stopping to Kansas 70's Noir! Darkly comic, probably not for all tastes; helps if you like Tarantino😎

Mehso-so

Audiobook. Narrator was very good. Story itself was sort of strange and meandering, not really building suspense in a very traditional way, but it got me to keep listening. Ending was unexpected.
