Gregory Galloway Bücher
Gregory Galloway ist ein Autor, dessen Werk sich mit der Komplexität menschlicher Beziehungen und dem Innenleben seiner Charaktere befasst. Sein Schreiben zeichnet sich durch scharfe psychologische Einblicke und eine meisterhafte Sprachbeherrschung aus, die den Leser in tiefgründige thematische Erkundungen zieht. In seinen Erzählungen untersucht er die Natur der Identität, die Last der Erinnerung und die Suche nach Sinn in einer mehrdeutigen Welt. Galloway's Herangehensweise an das Geschichtenerzählen ist sowohl nachdenklich als auch evokativ und schafft ein unverwechselbares literarisches Erlebnis.
A CrimeReads "Best Noir Novel of 2021" "A sucker punch noir that is also a powerful and haunting allegory of work, debt, and power." —Richard Price "An unreliable narrator makes this thriller all the more gripping." — WBUR A down and dirty gem of a tale—a twisty and twisted crime novel that evokes the worlds of George V. Higgins, Patricia Highsmith, and David Mamet, destined to be a Neo-noir classic. Rick and Frank are recovering addicts and accomplished house thieves. They do not steal randomly - - they steal according to order, hired by a mysterious handler. The jobs run routinely until they’re tasked with taking a seemingly worthless trophy: an object that generates interest and obsession out of proportion to its apparent value. Just as the robbery is completed, the two are involved in a freak car accident that sets off a chain of events and Frank disappears with the trophy. As Rick tries to find Frank, he is forced to confront his past, upending both his livelihood and his sense of reality. The narrative builds steadily into a powerful and shocking climax. Reveling in its con-artistry and double-crosses, Just Thieves is a nail-biting, noirish exploration of the working lives of two unforgettable crooks and the hidden forces that rule and ruin their lives.
