This novel, DetecToday's April feature, reminded me of Bruen's THE GUARDS in that the crime-solving was secondary to following the ups and downs of the protag's life.
Sallis's prose is less stream-of-consciousness than Bruen's, but both have a knack for eloquent economy. I enjoyed seeing a New Orleans that was more noir than James Lee Burke's. I'll definitely read Sallis again.
