A bleak, tightly wound noir, Pick-Up follows two drifters whose encounter spirals into dependency, alienation, and self-destruction. Originaly published in 1955, Willeford's second novel subverts the hard boiled genre expectations of the time, focussing on criminal protagonists rather than private eyes.
