Publisher's Synopsis
A humorous and affectionate study of alternative crime fiction, the Edgar Award-nominated Gun in Cheek celebrated the neglected classics of substandard mystery writing. After years of additional research into comically awful literature, author Bill Pronzini returns with even more twisted treasures for connoisseurs of hideous prose. "Pronzini has obviously read and digested everything ever written in the genre by anyone anywhere." - Ed McBain.
