Threatmantics are a scruffy Welsh rock trio that throw some wrinkles into the scruffy rock formula: Instead of a lead guitarist, they have a lead John Cale viola, and their drummer does double-time with a keyboard. The two guys mixing...

one copy left at Barnes and Noble last night - bought it, can't wait to read...
I've actually been meaning to get into early noir/hard-boiled fiction for a while now...ever since I got over my Godard fix and turned my eyes back towards America in black and white.

thanks guys!
