Styx

“Sharp, funny, original, and haunting. Styx is a wild, inventive crime novel with more than one memorable twist.”—The Huffington Post“Styx is a taut detective story with dash of Surrealism. Imagine Dashiell Hammett sending Sam Spade into a dark, off-kilter world of artists, zombies, and serial killers.”—Richard Kadrey, Author of the Sandman Slim Series“An atmospheric, noir-tinged tale about a stubborn cop who just won’t quit, even if he is dead.”—Kirkus“Intriguing…the gritty, hard-boiled tone is spot-on…the powerful existential undertone and strange redemptive tale make this an entertaining and moving read.”—Publishers Weekly“[A] taut, atmospheric, and suspenseful crime story. Readers can feel the fog settling in, as they learn about surrealist art, the history of Ostend, and Belgian imperialism as it pertains to race issues in the country today. These details are all seamlessly incorporated into the investigation…Thankfully, the door appears to be open for a sequel. Run, don’t walk, to give this book to fans of Jo Nesbø and Robert Galbraith. Dhooge has won multiple crime-writing awards; it’s time for American readers to see why for themselves.”—Library Journal (starred)
