Dropped this about 14 pages in when the main character and a few others started having a really racist conversation. I did not wish to spend any more time with these characters.

A noir classic that starts in Honolulu in 1945 and continues on to Detroit and eventually California via elaborate train ride, with several suspicious deaths along the way.

A couple of books followed me home this weekend... two (the Dr Whos) from BMV in Toronto, the rest from Bearly Used Books in Parry Sound. Amazing store!
