Everything Noir
When faced with an armed intruder, Richard Dane shoots the man dead. The police say it is a clear-cut case of self-defence. No one blames Richard . . . except the dead man's father who, hell-bent on revenge, sets his sights on Richard’s own four-year-old son.
Night. You wake suddenly.
Someone’s in your house. Is your family safe? You stumble from bed. You must investigate.
If you had a gun, would you take it? If your life was threatened, would you use it?
Richard Dane, face-to-face with an armed intruder, does. With one shot he takes a man’s life and changes his own forever.
The police say it is a clear-cut case of self-defence—the deceased is a no-account ex-con wanted by the law. No one blames Richard . . . except the dead man’s father who, hell-bent on revenge, sets his sights on Richard’s own four-year-old son.
As father is pitted against father, both men are inexorably drawn into dangerous territory as small-town secrets peel away to reveal a vile conspiracy that will threaten to devour them both.
The first title in a series of classic Joe R. Lansdale novels.

Praise for
Cold in July
“This book is a rare treat for fans of crime and noir fiction with a dark side and is a testament to just how good of a writer Lansdale is.”
—
Examiner
“As always, Lansdale delivers a book full of surprises, and incredibly vivid characters.
Cold in July
is a book that goes to some really dark places, for sure. But it’s also balanced by Lansdale’s unique brand of humor & banter.”
—
Grimdark Dad
“A crime fiction classic.”
—
The Novel Pursuit
“Impressive Realism-meets-Road House-circa ’89 fight-scenes, tailings, and gunfights. . . . You’re sure to finish this book fast, but you’re also sure to think on it slowly.”
—
Lit Reactor
“It’s a major novel, full of darkness, humor, passion, and truth.”
—Lewis Shiner, author of
Glimpses
and
Mozart in Mirroshades
(with Bruce Sterling)
“I can’t think of a more remarkable suspense novel in the last few years.
Cold in July
has it all….”
—Ed Gorman, author of
The Poker Club
“
Cold in July
is more than a novel of detection; it is an odyssey into the dark recesses of the human psyche….”
—Loren D. Estleman, author of
Burning Midnight
“Told by a master writer . . . a great novel.”
—
Murder by the Book
“Lansdale has a dark sense of humor and a brilliant ability to translate physical tension onto the page. In this novel, originally published in 1989 (and a film by the time you read this), he blends crime, southern gothic, and his own brand of East Texas noir. Don’t miss it.”
—
Bookshelf Bombshells
“A character-driven thriller with more twists than an off-the-map dirt road, awards-quality performances from the three leads, a rare sensitivity to the after-effects of horror and a sure directorial hand.”
—
Empire
“This is crime fiction/pulp fiction at its best. It is dark, it is dangerous, it is wickedly humorous. . . .”
—
Looking for a Good Book
