The Bone Man (Melville International Crime)

The mix of humor and suspense feels so unique and effective. I wonder what inspired the author to craft this particular tone throughout the story.

His flaws and contradictions added depth, but I kept questioning whether he's truly redeemable. What was your take on his character?

The city feels like a character itself, with its unique atmosphere. I'm curious if Haas based any scenes on actual places or experiences.
