O tym produkcie

Product Information

With his teaching career derailed by tragedy and his slacker days numbered, Webster Fillmore Goodhue makes an unlikely move and joins Clean Team, charged with tidying up L.A.'s grisly crime scenes. For Web, it's a steady gig, and he soon finds himself sponging a Malibu suicide's brains from a bathroom mirror and flirting with the man's bereaved and beautiful daughter. Then things get weird- The dead man's daughter asks a favor. Every cell in Web's brain tells him to turn her down, but something makes him hit the Harbor Freeway at midnight to help her however he can. Soon enough it's Web who needs the help when gun-toting California cowboys start showing up on his doorstep. What's the deal? Is it something to do with what he cleaned up in that motel room in Carson? Or is it all about the brewing war between rival trauma cleaners? Web doesn't have a clue, but he'll need to get one if he's going to keep from getting his face kicked in. Again. And again. And again.

Reviews
"There are many things to love about Charlie Huston's fictionhe'sa brilliant storyteller, and writes the best dialogue since George V. Higginsbut what pushes my personal happy-button is his morbid sense of humor and seemingly effortless ability to create scary/funny bad guys who make Beavis and Butthead look like Rhodes Scholars. [Charlie Huston has] written several very good books, but this is the firstauthentically greatone, a runaway freight that feels like a combination of William Burroughs and James Ellroy.Mystic Artsis, however,fiercely originalvery much its own thing." --Stephen King "Smoking-hot… scorchingly good dialogue and banner-worthy chapter headings (like "Till His Neighbors Smelled Him" and "To Keep Him From Crushing My Spine."). And Mr. Huston, whose own brain matter is as much on display as the stuff that gets spattered here, finally deliversa book that anyone can admire. No strong stomach required." -- Janet Maslin,The New York Times "Noir master Huston (The Shotgun Rule) should win himself a whole new audience with this bizarre and utterly grotesque stand-alone, told mostly through dialogue that highlights the author's uncanny ear for the spoken word. Former Los Angeles grade school teacher Web Goodhue, now a full-time slacker suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, falls into a job on a crime scene cleanup crew, scrubbing up the remains of the recently deceased. After the crew has finished cleaning up a messy suicide scene in Malibu, Web gets a phone call from the dead man's daughter, Soledad. She and her thug half-brother have another big mess on their hands that needs cleaning, on the QT. Unable to resist the beautiful Soledad, Web soon finds himself in way over his head. Huston, one of his generation's finest and hippest talents, shows in grisly detail what cleaning up after the dead entails. This one should appeal to Chuck Palahniuk fans as well as hard-boiled crime readers."-Publishers Weekly(starred) "Huston has outdone himself by introducing disaster-prone Web Goodhue, the star ofa comic masterpiececalledThe Mystic Arts of Erasing All Signs of Death…Charlie Huston has for several years beenone of the best-kept secrets in American fiction; this novel might move him into the mainstream. If you believe that the world is mada position that with each passing day becomes easier to acceptThe Mystic Arts of Erasing All Signs of Deathwill provide welcome support for your view. The novel had me laughing out loud many times, but of course, like all the best comic fiction (Catch-22andPortnoy's Complaintcome to mind), at bottom it is deadly serious.Life is violent, messy and all too short, and laughter is the best revenge." -- Patrick Anderson,The Washington Post Praise for Charlie Huston "Anyone not acquainted with Charlie Huston's blistering, unputdownable novels will want to tie their sneakers nice and tight, or they are apt to be blasted clean out of them." Stephen King "Among the new voices in twenty-first-century crime fiction, Charlie Huston . . . is where it's at." The Washington Post "Huston writes dialogue so combustible it could fuel a bus and characters crazy enough to take it on the road." The New York Times Book Review "Huston's strengths are the brutal efficiency with which he sets a scene, and the breakneck pace he maintains throughout." San Francisco Chronicle
