Author:Charles Bukowski
Charles Bukowski's brilliant, fantastical pastiche of a detective story. Packed with wit, invention and Bukowski's trademark lowlife adventures, it is the final novel of one of the most enjoyable and influential cult writers of the last century.
Nicky Belane, private detective and career alcoholic, is a troubled man. He is plagued not just by broads, booze, lack of cash and a raging ego, but also by the surreal jobs he's been hired to do. Not only has been hired to track down French classical author Celine - who's meant to be dead - but he's also supposed to find the elusive Red Sparrow - which may or may not be real.
Not since George Orwell has the condition of being down-and-out been so well recorded
—— New York TimesJohn Harvey is not just a fine crime novelist but a fine writer, and an adornment to his chosen genre. I devoured Good Bait in a day, and defy any reader to do otherwise.Great stuff.
—— John ConnollyJohn Harvey returns in resounding form … Terrific plot and, in Karen Shields, a splendid new heroine.
—— Marcel Berlins , The TimesIntricate, character-driven plotting and a large canvas full of telling detail lift this above the average police procedural.
—— Laura Wilson , GuardianJohn Harvey shows he is one of the best crime writers around: perhaps even Britain's answer to the great Elmore Leonard
—— Mail on SundayGood Bait proves that John Harvey is always prepared to tackle something new and ambitious.
—— Barry Forshaw , IndependentHarvey really does have his finger on the pulse of what is happening in the criminal underworld and some of the more deprived areas of London. There's a real sense, not just of what's happening, but of why it's happening and where there are gaps in the net. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
