Cutter And Bone
Condition remarks:
Condition: Good. Jacket: Worn/faded, no tears. Page Condition: Good; yellowed with some foxing on book block. Markings: No markings visible. Binding: Intact hardcover.
A gripping crime thriller, Cutter and Bone chronicles the dark odyssey of two mismatched drifters — Alex Cutter, a bitter and physically shattered Vietnam veteran, and his easy-going friend Richard Bone — after Bone witnesses what he believes to be a murder. Driven by obsession and rage, Cutter convinces Bone to pursue a wealthy and powerful suspect, pulling both men into a collision course with corruption, violence, and moral reckoning in 1970s America. Thornburg writes with a raw, unflinching intensity that draws comparisons to the finest noir fiction, presenting a bleak yet electrifying portrait of post-Vietnam disillusionment and the American underbelly. The novel argues that justice is a luxury afforded only to those with power, and that the pursuit of truth can be as destructive as the crimes it seeks to expose. Later adapted into the acclaimed 1981 film Cutter's Way, this masterwork of American noir remains a landmark of the genre.
