Description

Re-issued by Soho Crime, The Walkaway has the same flair for dark humor and crime noir that heralded his bestselling debut, The Ice Harvest. Noir master Scott Phillips'sThe Walkawayexplores the far-reaching consequences of the deception and violence of its predecessor,The Ice Harvest. Summer 1989- Gunther Fahnstiel, once a tough cop who wasn't averse to taking a little side money from a certain madam, has just escaped the dementia ward of his Wichita nursing home. He's not exactly sure where he wants to go, but wherever it is, it has to do with the bag full of cash belonging to the man he accidentally backed over with his RV in 1979. During his search, Gunther begins to relive the violent fallout of that madam's sex lottery forty years ago. As Gunther's memories unravel, his past and present will collide in a devastating reckoning. This dark comedy, at once prequel and sequel to Phillips's award-winning debut The Ice Harvest, proves that no walkaway can escape unscathed.
