    <![CDATA[Lou Ford is the deputy sheriff of a small town in Texas.  The worst thing most people can say against him is that he's a little slow and a little boring.  But, then, most people don't know about <em>the sickness</em>--the sickness that almost got Lou put away when he was younger.  The sickness that is about to surface again.<br/><br/>An underground classic since its publication in 1952, <strong>The Killer Inside Me</strong> is the book that made Jim Thompson's name synonymous with the <em>roman noir</em>.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[A disturbing and entertaining noir novel from the 1950's.  Considered very shocking when it came out, it still holds pretty well as its protagonist-narrator is both unreliable and unrepentant.  Well-written, brutal and riveting.  ]]></body>
