Recoil Related Titles

Recoil relates to several of Thompson's other novels in its scrutiny of guilt and innocence and the problems in determining which of those states applies to which characters. The credo that every man must trust only himself and suspect everyone else creates a common thread with Recoil for such otherwise divergent Thompson novels as The Killer Inside Me (1952), and The Criminal (1953).
