This Plague of Souls
by Mike McCormack
Soho Press
Jan. 2024
The reader is immediately pulled into Nealon's world - a hazy place of loss, secrets and suspense. There is a man who claims to know things that Nealon needs to know, which he will trade for things that Nealon does (maybe) know. Paranoia grows to the climax of a meeting in a hotel lobby where the world waits anxiously to learn what threat has the security forces on high alert.
Presented in poetic and concise language, this is not your typical noir. But it should not be missed. If you haven't tried Solar Bones, that is another wonderful and strange novel by McCormack.
