Jim Thompson was born in Anadarko, Oklahoma. He began writing fiction at a very young age, selling his first story to "True Detective"when he was only fourteen. Thompson eventually wrote twenty-nine novels, all but three of which were published as paperback originals. Thompson also co-wrote two screenplays (for the Stanley Kubrick films "The Killing" and "Paths of Glory"). Several of his novels have been filmed by American and French directors, resulting in classic noir including "The Killer Inside Me" (1952), "After Dark My Sweet"(1955), and "The Grifters" (1963).
Luane Devore is about to be murdered. It''s her favourite topic of conversation. Just who will do the murdering is anybody''s guess - Luane''s malicious gossip has blighted many reputations.'
