'The Squeaker' is a crime novel about a mysterious informer, working with the police against his criminal associates. The pace of the narrative is quite uneven, with the author constantly shifting the perspectives of his characters’ actions and their methods. A classic work of crime literature, easily read at one go, possessing all the necessary qualities for its genre. And, as it can expected of Wallace, the twist at the end of the story is always there, often tipping the reader’s expectations over.
