Why read it?

1 author picked Bumper City as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I love any genre that incorporates noir thrillers, bringing that iconic 40’s era detective mystery that showcases the mysterious figures and identities that the detective has to uncover. That was the promising theme that brought me to this book by Alan McGill. The author greatly impressed me with this story, as the futuristic, sci-fi setting only helped elevate the noir storytelling style.

The clown killers in this story haunted me as they came up against the protagonist, and the identity of the mysterious woman hanging on the edge of the main character’s periphery will add a depth of personal conflict…

From Anthony's list on thriller books that question identity.
