David Goodis – Night Squad
Only 1 left in stock
$10.00
A novel of urban crime and psychological tension, Night Squad follows a police officer working within the pressures and uncertainties of the night shift, where routine patrol gives way to unpredictable conflict. Set against the backdrop of a city after dark, the narrative traces the experiences of an officer navigating violence, suspicion, and shifting alliances. The work combines procedural elements with a sustained focus on character, presenting law enforcement not as abstraction but as a series of decisions made under pressure. Goodis develops the story through atmosphere and internal tension, emphasizing isolation, fatigue, and the blurred boundaries between order and disorder. As with his other novels, the focus remains on individuals shaped by circumstance, with the urban environment acting as both setting and influence. The result is a work that reflects mid-twentieth-century crime fiction’s concern with mood, psychology, and the limits of control.
