内容概要

James Crumley is one of the most influential crime writers of the post-Chandler era， and   his raw， subversive novels have earned him living legend status. He first introduced   readers to C. W. Sughrue ("‘Shoog’ as in sugar. And ‘rue’ as in rue the goddamned day")   in his now classic The Last Good Kiss. An ex-army officer turned Montana   private eye， Sughrue is as tough and cynical as he is good-hearted and weak-kneed when   it comes to women and booze. He’s back to take readers on a bender through small   towns， dark bars， and dank hotel rooms in a novel charged with Crumley’s genius for the   poetry of violence.    In The Right Madness， Sughrue’s close friend， psychiatrist Will MacKinderick，   begs him to track down stolen confidential psychoanalysis files—he suspects one of his   patients is the culprit. Going against every last instinct， Sughrue agrees to take on the   case—a $20，000 retainer is always hard to resist. And when the suspects start dying of   violently unnatural causes， Sughrue—fueled by alcohol， drugs， and lurid sexual   entanglements—finds himself struggling to stay ahead of the madness unfolding around   him.    Before Pelecanos， Connelly， and Lehane， there was Crumley and， with The Right   Madness， he shows us once again how he put the "hard" in "hard-boiled."
