Nobody Move: A Novel

From the National Book Award-winning, bestselling author of Tree of Smoke, comes a provocative thriller set in the American West. The story revolves around 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 both an homage to and a variation on the literary form, saluting one of our most enduring and popular genres—the American crime novel—yet imbued with grisly humor and outrageousness that are quintessentially Denis Johnson’s. Sexy, suspenseful, and above all entertaining, Nobody Move showcases one of our greatest novelists at his versatile best.
