Bordersnakes (Anglais)

For the first time, the author who has reinvented the hard-boiled novel unites his two great characters - Milo Mildragovitch and C W Sughrue - teaming them on a journey that fishtails through clouds of dust and pools of blood from Montana to the Texas-Mexico border.
Someone gut-shot Sughrue in New Mexico and left him to live with his demons, running naked in the blood-red desert sunset and loving the only woman who has ever managed to love him. Someone took all the money in Milodragovitch's daddy's will, leaving Milodragovitch with just a two-thousand-dollar silk suit and a Cadillac El Dorado - and a hard-on for retribution. Now, Sughrue and Milodragovitch, two of the most hardbitten cases the West ever produced, have come together in El Paso for a death trip across a country called Texas, to a state of mind called revenge. For Milodragovitch, it's a matter of finding the banker who absconded with his inheritance. For Sughrue, it's confronting the man who set him up for target practice. And for both, it's a case that revolves around a ranch house in Austin where two people were tortured to death - and a luxurious cocaine-dusted death trap near the border.
Bordersnakes is a crime novel that careens from living hell to waking nightmare, with all the aching beauty and searing sadness that only James Crumley can deliver.
