HARD CASE CRIME
01 May 2024
Series: Hard Case Crime
'My favourite fiction novel this year was written by a taxi driver who used to hand it out to his passengers. It's a terrific story and character study of a cabbie in Chicago during a time when a serial killer is robbing and murdering cabbies. Kudos to Hard Case Crime for publishing Mr. Clark's book.' — Quentin Tarantino

Two killers stalk the streets of Chicago — can one taxi driver corner them both?

Eddie Miles is one of a dying breed: a Windy City hack who knows every street and back alley of his beloved city and takes its recent descent into violence personally. But what can one driver do about a killer targeting streetwalkers or another terrorising cabbies? Precious little-until the night he witnesses one of them in action...

Reviews for Nobody's Angel

"The Washington Post writes, ""NOBODY'S ANGEL is a gem... it’s just about perfect."" Chicago Sun-Times on NOBODY’S ANGEL: ""Heartbreaking... captivating... each page turn feels like real, authentic Chicago."" Booklist on NOBODY’S ANGEL: ""The cynical, melancholy cabbie point of view is perfect for this kind of neon-lit, noir-tinged, saxophone-scored prose poem, and Clark hits all the right notes."" Publishers Weekly on NOBODY’S ANGEL: ""[A] slim, sparse, and heartbreaking novel."""
