More gorgeous prose

This time it's from The Chinaman by Friedrich Glauser, newly out from Bitter Lemon Press in the U.K., with U.S. publication scheduled for November 2007:

"A flash of lightning slashed the dark in two, the violent clap of thunder that followed set off a crackling and rumbling that died away beyond the hills."
