🎁 🎄 DEAD INK ADVENT DAY 23 🎄 🎁 

Nathan is the Managing Director of Dead Ink; the man behind it all, whose mission is to make Dead Ink the irrefutable A24 of books. His read of the year is IN A LONELY PLACE by Dorothy B. Hughes.

A novel taut with suspense and thoroughly dismantles the conventions of classic noir; Dix Steele is the LAPD's top suspect after a string of young women are preyed upon in postwar Los Angeles. With less than favourable views about the opposite sex, made abundantly clear to the reader by the narrative taking place from his perspective, things begin to turn when he meets femme fatale Laurel Gray— a woman who does, to Dix's mind, the impossible: think for herself.

An extraordinary novel indicting toxic masculinity from a writer well ahead of her time
