Condition remarks:

A hard-boiled crime novel set in the seedy underbelly of Los Angeles, House-Dick follows Mike Faraday, a wisecracking private investigator hired as a house detective at a run-down hotel — only to find himself entangled in a web of murder, corruption, and double-dealing. Basil Copper, one of Britain's most celebrated writers in the American noir tradition, crafts a tightly wound mystery that crackles with atmosphere, snappy dialogue, and relentless tension. Drawing on the legacy of Raymond Chandler and Mickey Spillane, Copper presents a cynical yet compelling portrait of a man who navigates a world where nothing is ever what it seems. House-Dick stands as a prime example of the genre at its most entertaining — gritty, fast-paced, and utterly gripping.
