A surprise that James Sallis without his favorite detective and appreciated, Lew Griffin. A very different style from what I've read to this day: less black, more personal, it's more of a reflection on the human condition and North America, its political choices, commitments and fighting and those who brought them in and beyond the borders. A beautiful walk all over North America by plane and then by car, its small towns; ending in New Orleans, where we see more custom unfold the wonderful black novels Sallis scene featuring Lew Griffin. A novel of espionage in the very personal sounding, which show, if necessary, the talent of James Sallis to tell his country.
