Description

Savage Night by Jim Thompson is a gripping thriller about a man with no looks and little to his name, who finds himself at the top of a lucrative horse-betting ring. But when the law catches up, he's forced to become a key witness in a major case against organized crime.

However, an enigmatic figure known only as The Man has a plan to silence Jake Winroy permanently. A hit man with a seemingly easy target, Charlie "Little" Bigger is hired to infiltrate the Winroy residence and murder him in cold blood. As Little navigates the treacherous world of organized crime, he finds himself drawn to two women: Fay, a beautiful and deadly woman, and Ruth, a young housemaid with a sensual and vulnerable nature.

This tense and suspenseful thriller showcases Jim Thompson's mastery of the genre, as one man's fractured mind is pushed to its limits in a desperate bid for survival. With its claustrophobic atmosphere and unpredictable twists, Savage Night is a gripping pacey read that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.
