Hammers on Bone by Cassandra Khaw

2.0

I loved The Salt Grows Heavy, but this one fell very flat for me. Philip Marlowe meets Constantine and cosmic horror, and make it a bit gory: that's this novella. My dislike may stem from the fact that I don't care for the classic crime noir with its P.I. narrators full of swagger, hurling around metaphors. Yawn.
