Lawrence Block
Lawrence Block's first crime novel - lost for nearly 50 years! To escape punishment for a murder he didn't mean to commit, insurance man Don Barshter has to take on a new identity: Nathaniel Crowley, ferocious up-and-comer in the New York mob. But can he find safety in the skin of another man...a worse man...a sinner man?

Oh yeah, it's real enough

And what an intriguing pleasure it is. Despite being written when Block was still cutting his teeth on detective tales, Sinner Man is bleak, gripping, and suspenseful. When an unlikable insurance salesman accidentally kills his wife, he flees to Buffalo and reinvents himself, almost overnight, into a powerful new player in the local crime scene. But how long can any secret stay hidden in a world that trades on those very things?
The most surprising thing about Sinner Man is its fully developed voice. Block creates a detestable but fascinating protagonist, then surrounds him with lowlifes who talk like disillusioned angels. You'll swear you can smell the cigarettes and stale perfume, interspersed with sex scenes that read like a wild blend of poetry and punishment. It's clear that the writing owes more than a little bit to Mickey Spillane, but Block doing Spillane isn't exactly my idea of a bad time.
Mike Dennis is the perfect narrator for the novel, reminding me of a particularly weary Mike Hammer. His voice conveys the disgust and jadedness of this world, while somehow soaring just above it, not making us feel trapped in it.
And as I mentioned above, the Afterword, conveying how the novel came to be rediscovered, is every bit as interesting as the rest of the book. Don't skip it.
Gritty pulp fiction with a pulse

I listened to the audiobook narrated by Mike Dennis, whose work is very good. His voice plays well with the material, and he falls into a rhythm that I found easy to spend hours listening to.
