Night Train (1997)
9.5/10
Murder mystery of sorts. Proper copper detective stuff. Would make a fine True Detective season.
175-pages was way too short and I absolutely did not want this to end.
Guardian has this as his 3rd best book.

First time with this author and right from the start you felt safe and sound in the hands of a proper novelist. He ain't no twitter.literatii_#alt lit "author" who will blunderbuss impenetrably prolix all over the pages and chunder out a novel on the weekend thinking he's Jack Kerouac on motherfucking stilts.
