Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A hardboiled novel about life in the American underground, from the pool halls of Portland to the cells of San Quentin. Simply one of the finest books ever written about being down on your luck.Don Carpenter's Hard Rain Falling is a tough-as-nails account of being down and out, but never dow…n for good-a Dostoyevskian tale of crime, punishment, and the pursuit of an ever-elusive redemption. The novel follows the adventures of Jack Levitt, an orphaned teenager living off his wits in the fleabag hotels and seedy pool halls of Portland, Oregon. Jack befriends Billy Lancing, a young black runaway and pool hustler extraordinaire. A heist gone wrong gets Jack sent to reform school, from which he emerges embittered by abuse and solitary connement. In the meantime Billy has joined the middle class-married, fathered a son, acquired a business and a mistress. But neither Jack nor Billy can escape their troubled pasts, and they will meet again in San Quentin before their strange double drama comes to a violent and revelatory end. Don Carpenter's Hard Rain Falling is a tough as nails account of being down and out, but not quite down for good; a Dostoevskian tale of crime, punishment, and the pursuit of an ever-elusive redemption. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A cult crime classic about pool-playing, hard drinking and a search for a meaningful lifeJack Levitt - teenaged orphan and small-time criminal - lives off his wits, dividing his time between the pool halls, bars and brothels of Portland, Oregon. Billy Lancing is a young black runaway and poo…l hustler who falls into Jack's orbit. After a messed-up heist lands Jack at reform school, he re-enters a world where Billy has struggled to find peace in a new middle-class life with marriage, fatherhood and a steady job. But neither man can outrun trouble for long, and they soon meet again in St Quentin Prison, trying to make sense of the hand life has dealt them. Only one will make it out of St Quentin - but what is the use of freedom, if all of life is in chains?A Dostoevskyian noir in the hard-boiled tradition, Hard Rain Falling is also a shocking, tender novel about looking for meaning somewhere between the seedy and the sublime.
