The Last Orchard In America

Sue Longtree is too young to be a matriarch, but when she moves to run down the story behind her brother''s suicide, she stands at the top looking down on a family in shambles. The suicide''s hardly a whodunit, as the private dick that Longtree hires, our hero Harry Jome, sees it. Or is it? The answer may lie less in a wall''s bloodstains or the cheap framed prints that cover them than in the pages of a manuscript. This hardboiled literary meta-noir channels both the genre''s suspense and seaminess, and at once offers an implicit critique of the culture that makes it possible." 9780983465867 098346586X 188 BOOK Noir fiction NOT_MATURE http://books.google.com/books/content?id=8G_2oQEACAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=5&source=gbs_api en
