R.I.P., Michael Dibdin
Apr. 5th, 2007 02:04 pmMichael Dibdin died, alas.
He was known for his detective novels, most of them about a detective called Aurelio Zen. I haven't read those, but I read another novel of his that turns out to have been his first book. Which...wow.
It was The Last Sherlock Holmes Story, one of the best Holmes pastiches I've read, and a book that scared the pants off me. If this were fanfic - and isn't it? - I'd have to call it a darkfic AU.
( spoilers for the book )
