PRAISE FORTHE DISAPPEARING BODY "Dazzling and densely plotted . . . What lingers after the smoke clears is a stirring portrait of a corrupt world, one that holds a mirror to the realities and myths of urban life."--The Boston Globe "A deeply ambitious, witty, disquieting reinvention of the noir thriller."--Esquire "A delicious dip into the shimmering dark urban underworld that, decades ago, Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler mined to such great effect."--Salon, PRAISE FOR THE DISAPPEARING BODY "Dazzling and densely plotted . . .

Synopsis
This rich tale of drug dealing and union-busting, murder and mayhem on both sides of the law, begins when Victor Ribe, an ex-junkie and World War I veteran, is mysteriously released from prison after serving fifteen years for a murder he didn't commit. He returns to a city where Prohibition has been repealed and a dark underworld is developing a new source of profits--illegal heroin trafficking. Meanwhile, legitimate industries are launching an offensive against unionization and the specterof Communism--and they're not above fighting dirty. When Victor's old Army buddy, Freddy Stillman, a munitions salesman, reports a murder but can't explain why the body has disappeared, he unwittingly pulls himself and Victor into the bewildering swirl of corruption and conspiracy that encompasses everyone in the book's vast, raging cityscape. Combining the atmospheric richness of Dashiell Hammett and the irresistible, subversive humor of Thomas Pynchon, The Disappearing Body weaves suspenseful mystery into a stunning, darkly hilarious portrait of urban America between the wars., This rich tale of drug dealing and union-busting, murder and mayhem on both sides of the law, begins when Victor Ribe, an ex-junkie and World War I veteran, is mysteriously released from prison after serving fifteen years for a murder he didn't commit.
