Get Carter |
There's a real American feel to this gritty tale of a remorseless hit-man tracking down the murderer of his brother. The first person narrative invites you into the mind of violence in a casual but direct manner and you find yourself on 'his side' - even if that side has little to commend it over the 'other side'! As far removed from Agatha Christie as you can get but it's a compelling read for all that.
