Word Made Flesh by Jack O'connell

Why would two eastern European meatboys want to kill aninnocent cab driver? That's the question that occurs to Gilrein as Raban and Blumfeld press the gun barrel into his mouth. Does it have something to do with the ritual death of Leo Tani? Or does the answer involve Gilrein's ex lover, or the notorious Inspector? And how does Bobby Oster figure in the mix, with his crew of murder-for-hire rogue cops who call themselves The Magicians?

Hyper-real noirA grotesque romance about genocide, language, bibliomania, doubt, obsession, worms, epidermis and sanctuary! -- James Ellroy
Word Made Flesh made the hair stand up on the back of my mind. Dark, cunning, and wickedly clever, it outsmarts you at just about every turn. Terrific stuff -- Jonathan Carroll
In other words, this novel is a brilliantly unique combination of a disturbing horror novel, a detailed cyberpunk dystopia (without the computers), a work of surrealist beat literature and a complex noir detective story -- Pekoeblaze * PekoeBlaze the official blog *
