Goodreads review by Thomas on March 06, 2009

Quotes

“Hits all the noir buttons and then some…Those with a taste for it will have as much fun reading this novel as the authors obviously had writing it.” Publishers Weekly

“Bruen and Starr have concocted a wild, remarkably vulgar, and very funny ode to mindless violence, drugs, down-and-dirty sex, and self-delusion.” Booklist
