About
Disciple of the Dog, a crime thriller from acclaimed master of speculative fiction R. Scott Bakker
No matter how hard he drinks, gambles, or womanizes, Disciple Manning simply cannot forget: not a word spoken, not an image glimpsed, not a pain suffered. Disciple Manning has total recall. Whatever he hears, he can remember with 100% accuracy. He can play it back in his head for an infinite number of times without a single change. This ability makes him a dangerously unorthodox private investigator.
When a New Jersey couple hires Manning to find their daughter, who joined a religious cult before vanishing in a small rust-belt town called Ruddick, he finds himself embroiled in a mystery that will pit his unnatural ability to remember against his desperate desire to forget.

"Someone said that reading a Jim Thompson novel was like being locked up in a fallout shelter with a brilliant, chatty, fast-talking maniac. Meet your new companion: Disciple Manning."
Jim Sallis, New York Times bestselling author of Salt of a River
"Even without the benefit--or would that be hindrance--of total recall, this is a book I'll remember for a long time. And enjoyable as it was, when the details fade I look forward to rereading and loving it again."
Bob Fingerman, award-winning author of Bottom Feeder and Pariah
"Beautifully viscious and painfully, darkly human, Bakker's Disciple of the Dog is the kind of book that makes a lot of other noir look like it was written by Sunday School teachers."
Brian Evenson, award-winning author of Last Days
