Dirty Snow

Gary Homewood

The young morally bankrupt, sociopathic protagonist commits murder on the first page, drifts inevitably to other crimes and deprivations. Living at his mother's brothel, in a town under unspecified occupation.

Relentlessly dark, squalid and bleak. Grotesque, ugly characters. Shifts from hard Noir to proto existentialism and Kafkaesque trial. 

Worth reading!
