Denis Johnson
From the National Book Award–winning, bestselling author of Tree of Smoke comes a provocative thriller set in the American West.Nobody Move, which first appeared in the pages of Playboy, is the story of an assortment of lowlifes in Bakersfield, California, and their cat-and-mouse game over $2.3 million. Touched by echoes of Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett, Nobody Move is at once an homage to and a variation on literary form. It salutes one of our most enduring and popular genres—the American crime novel—but with a grisly humor and outrageousness that are Denis Johnson's own. Sexy, suspenseful, and above all entertaining, Nobody Move shows one of our greatest novelists at his versatile best.

"Fun, but a month later I couldn't remember a single thing about the story. Maybe I read it too fast. After reading the synopsis, it all came back to me. It was a good read, but nothing too original here. It very well could have been an Elmore Leonard novel with someone else's name on it and I would have no idea. Maybe that was the point as a genre piece. I will definitely be looking for his more well-known books, as DJ clearly has some talent."
