And also, though unrelated, you may remember that the title of 'Diamond Dogs' was appropriated for the crime thriller by Alan Watt.
Named after David Bowie's celebrated seventies album, itself influenced by William Burrough's 'cut-up' writing method, this novel is both a thriller and an unconventional love story. Set against the glitter of Las Vegas and the isolation of Nevada, "Diamond Dogs" is a portrayal of a father and son, whose distant relationship is haunted by the past, and virtually unspoken. A local murder enquiry in which the son is questioned, sets an edgy, taut pace to this page-turner.
